Ah, lovely blast from the past! I remember finding this DLL and being delighted that I could now put pretty icons on more things.

Also remember taking ages to figure out that it meant "more icons" rather than just a silly made up word.

Moraff's World was right there, it wasn't hard to think it was related.

They were composed by Ennio Moricons.
