I'm on a Windows PC, and have created a .ico file for Windows from a basic bmp, but i don't have a MAC to create an .icns

Spent a while looking around on the net, but can't find an app that i can use in Win.

Mac version of software is:
www.mscape.com/products/iconographer.html

If anyone with a Mac has two mins to spare, and can create a .icns file from a bmp/jpeg, it would be much appreciated.

Email me for files! :-)

If you are on OSX (and if not the why not) and have the Developer Tools installed you don't need to download anything, simply use Icon Composer.

Mac OSX uses 128x128 pixel icons (automatically scaling down as required) at the moment (Tiger uses 256x256). Icon Composer should work with jpeg files but if you want transparency (most Mac icons have at least some) tiff files work better.

If no one else helps you out I can do this once I get home, at work I'm forced to use Windows

Whap it over to me and I'll give it a shot.
