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.

The good ole' days of having to figure out a meaningful name in 8 chars.

That is almost my favorite part of DOS retro computing. Every file to name is a little puzzle.
