Description Bill Baxter 2007-11-29 21:05:36 UTC 
Vista allows ico files to have big PNG-compressed 256x256 icons.
The rcc tool that comes with the DMD distribution for windows fails on such ico files claiming something like:
"""
101 ICON DISCARDABLE "bigicon.ico"
                                 ^
bigicon.rc(1) : Error: 'bigicon.ico' doesn't contain a valid Windows 3.0 icon re
source
"""

There is no more `rcc` distributed with DMD, so closing.
