Editor's review of Ani.cur.ico Editor A real case of a split personality, Ani.cur.ico Editor consists of two programs for creating cursors and icons. The first is a static icon/cursor editor with an adequate toolset, including a channel mixer. It also can extract icons from EXE and DLL files--a minor task it executes well. On the other hand, importing images requires you to convert the image to an ICO file and open it for editing, a process that requires several clicks. However, the real offender is the second program, a practically unusable animated-cursor editor that can only import CUR and ICO files, which you first have to create (or convert, as mentioned above) in the static icon/cursor editor. You might get by with Ani.cur.ico Editor if you just need to extract icons from EXE files, but we wouldn't suggest it to serious designers.
