Extracting icons from a DLL file on Linux is very easy. I used 7zip and this was able to extract all icons from a DLL file. This is the Windows NT 6.1 Windows 7 version of the moricons.dll file. This trick does not work with the Windows 11 version, but with Windows 7 DLL files it does work.

This is a very easy Linux tip. Then the *.ico files may be converted to PNG with ImageMagick.
(jcartwright@2403-4800-25af-b00--2) 192.168.1.5 ICON $ mogrify -format png *.ico
This gave me a folder full of png and ico images. Then I could create a nice collage of all of the icons to present them very nicely.
This is a very nice way to present these old icons. I think the artwork is very nice.
