IconMaster 						Version 1.0


INTRODUCTION

Welcome to IconMaster, the most comprehensive and user friendly 
Windows 3 icon management and editing utility available. IconMaster's 
earlier Beta release received high marks in the Windows user community. 
It was a Public (software) Library "Best of 1991" and a PC World "Top
Pick" and a PC/Computing Magazine "Top Windows Pick". Version 1 is a 
major upgrade in functionality, performance, and documentation from 
the earlier Beta release. We hope you enjoy it.

WINDOWS 3.1 NOTE

This version is being distributed before Windows 3.1 is finalized.
While it will work fine with 3.1, automatic icon installation in the
Program Manager will not work because of changes in Windows. As soon 
as the new release of Windows is stable, a new IconMaster version will 
be posted that supports automatic icon installation for it.

Enjoy,
