>Is there a way for one to convert bitmaps to icons?

I've done this a couple of times using the "capture" feature of an icon
editor to grab the pixels displayed by a different application (whatever
it takes to show a .bmp or .gif).  What you use to display the .bmp might
have to shrink the image first.  Sometimes colors get mapped oddly.

I prefer "IconMaster" by the (deceased) Phillip A. Kaufman.
