The biggest icon collection yet found on Compuserve. As the person
responsible for the first attempt at compiling all of the icons on
Compuserve Information Service, I salute all the authors of these
magnificent, colorful icons, and those who have used my file as a
starting point for their own icon collections. In addition, I would
like to thank Joe Beauchamp for helping to combine his collection with
ALLICO.ZIP , and Keith Ledbetter for his DUPICON program to find and
delete duplicates.
It was discovered that by ZIPing the icons alphabetically, mucho
space could be saved in the final ZIP file. If you really want all these
icons in one subdirectory (like I have), the easiest way to unZIP them
is to use a batch file. I have included a sample batch file. You must
have PKUNZIP in your path for the batch file to work. If you wish to
use a different hard drive or a different subdirectory, you will have
to modify the batch, INSTALL.BAT. Have fun! I don't know if the sysops
are going to allow us to carry this much farther as this file is getting
too big to handle.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
