I am at the final stages of developing a Fortran application using Plato3. How do I prepare a shortcut icon to include in the setup program such that the icon appears on the desktop upon installation? Thanks in advance |

You need to look for an installation utility.
Try "Free installer" from Google. |

You can include an icon when using ClearWin+ by using %mi.
You can create an icon resource by using an icon editor.
Again we are back to Google, this time with "Free icon editor". |

Surely the Google search is for "Salford Scion Icon Editor"! |

A free installer that creates a desktop shortcut (using the icon you have already included as resource) is available at http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php it is an excellent product and is used by many commercial companies. _________________ John Horspool

Inno setup as linked to by John above is indeed a good product. One other decent one is the nullsoft installer available from:
