You want icons saved as .dll files? Icons are pictures, .dll files
are libraries.

I think that "Retired" means that the program should also be able to
create storage files.
Windows suppports both dll's and icl's as icon libraries.
An icl is a (usually 16 bits) dll file containing a
resource (.rsrc) section.
Windows comes with a few 32 bits dll icon libraries, like moricons.dll
Windows XP also uses 32 Bit icons, 24 bit colour images with an 8 Bit
alpha (transparency) channel.
A program that lets you create 32 bits icons and store these in an icl
is e.g. @icon sushi http://www.towofu.net/soft-e/
 
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.
I'm trying to get all my icons into one file (convenient, and saves H.D.
space)
A .dll file is one way of achieving this, probably there are others
