### Resource Image Conversion Utility - An Overview (OS/2, Windows)

This utility is used to convert bitmap (.BMP), icon (.ICO), pointer (.PTR) or cursor (.CUR) images from an OS/2 readable format to a Windows format, or vice versa.

A member is a specific size and color derivation of an image. An image can be saved with a single or multiple members, with each member having its own size and color specifications of the selected image (for use with different display drivers). The graphical version of this program will allow you to select, or exclude, specific members for your converted image or have chosen members saved as individual files. If you are using this utility, and you need particular size and color specifications for your image, then you should use the graphical version of this utility for your conversions.

This utility does not convert images to different file types; for example, a bitmap cannot be converted to an icon using this utility.

Note: A pointer is the OS/2 terminology for a cursor in Windows.
