Thanks to all who replied - there were quite a few suggestions and
comments.
As expected, C/C++ were thought the best/most often used languages;
though Fortran & Delphi got a mention....
But the best suggestion came from Russell Lawley; it's simple, it
uses VB, and even I can understand it:
To create a DLL containing Custom icons....
1) Create a new ActiveX DLL project
2) Open resource editor, and add your custom bitmap pairs
3) Save resource file in Project
4) Save and compile project
5) Distribute...
6) When selecting icon, specify pathname of DLL
eg. ICON 1002 FILE "MyIcons.DLL"
7) Sit back and impress friends and colleagues, with smiley faces and
Bunny Wabbits.....
Chalk up another success.....
