RE: how can you turn a .png into a .txt (for Prime Icon)
The intention was to turn a PNG into something like an ICON - I am sure a read somewhere that ICON format was similar, though I cannot seem to find that thread again. I do not recall reading anything about it being similar to BMP.

Ages ago when I last used a hexadecimal editor, that would show the printable hex on-screen, but back then all I wanted to do was tinker with a few bytes and re-save the binary. I never needed to save the hex.

Now, I am looking to save the binary as a readable hex file - and then see if that might be usable in an ICON.

So, will any hex editor save the readable hex to a file?

Is there such an editor built into Windows 7 (or can I do it on-line at the library - my own firewall has expired, so ideally i dont want to download an .EXE)?

And then finally, will the Prime's ICON read that file format?
