Krass, I've just e-mailed you an icon editor called MicroArt that I've developed.

It supports creation of .cur and .ani files as well. It also allows you to extract and save an icon from any file.
It also has a "screen grabber" that allows you to click on any part of the screen to turn it into an icon.

It also let you add your icons to different category libraries so it's easy to find your icons wherever you have them on the disk. It's sort of like the clipart library in PowerPoint.

If you would like to beta test this app and tell me what you think about it I will send you a registration key so you can use it after the 30-day trial period.

Best regards
