WinAmicon is an Amiga icon viewer and converter for Windows. You can open icon files normally or drag and drop files onto the display window. File-type registration is available to provide a system icon and double-click access. It even has a basic command line interface. WinAmicon can read and display Amiga icons in standard and NewIcons formats. Icons can be saved in several common graphics formats: bmp, jpg, png and tif. WinAmicon is made freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or higher. Source code created with VC++ 6 SP5 is available separately.
 WinAmicon is based on amicon, an Amiga icon to ppm/xpm convertor by Adam Sampson distributed under the GNU GPL. Also available is amicon 2, a version of Adam's command line utility, modified to compile and run on Windows. This version outputs in the original XPM and PPM formats and writes its output to the command line, which may be more suitable for those wanting to do conversion from scripts etc. Source code is included. Amicon 2 is also made freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or higher. I have also used amicon as the basis for adding support for reading Amiga icons to paintlib, the graphics library which provides the conversion routines for WinAmicon.
The FutureWinAmicon has been superceded by wxAmicon. wxAmicon has an extended feature set and is also cross-platform. You may still find amicon useful for pure command line applications.
