How do I convert a standard 32x32 bmp, gif, jpg to a TRUE
Icon (ICO) file of 766 bytes?  I've tried copying the file, but it
doesn't work!  Please e-mail me with code as well as posting
if possible.

Use the image editor, copy the bmp to the clipboard, and then paste it
into a new icon.

Right, that won't work, the .bmp and .ico formats, for example, are
very different.

You can also use CopyRect to copy a rectangle from an bitmap's canvas
to an icon's canvas.
