You might find this article useful
.
It's been a while since I wrote it, but the techniques are still valid.

Cheers,

Check out the "It's almost that time" thread on this list in recent 
days. That will probably answer all your questions about icon software.

Since you cannot save changes to the standalone itself, you either need to
use the splash screen approach when building your standalone and keep your
data stack separate from the engine, or save your users' data to external
file -- text file or stack.

Keeping Entered Text in a Standalone and Application Icons

[Tom Cole]

1. I have two really basic questions. I have used Rev for quite some 
time, but the standalones I created were fine as read-onlys because I 
didn't need the users to enter text that they would need to see the 
next time they launched the application. I know it's a simple question, 
but how do I make a standalone that will save the user's entries in a 
field so that they will be in the field the next time the application 
is launched? I want the user to enter data that will be saved for 
later. But I don't even know how to make a standalone that could be 
used as a journal!


2. I have a baseball game. I have a picture of a baseball. I want to 
make an application icon for Mac and Windows standalones. What is an 
easy way to do this simple thing? Is there a freeware program?
