You can do this yourself. Convert the image to 16 colors at 32 x 32 pixels

machine. If it works, you're in business.
Windows icon resource files (ico) are basically Windows bmp files at this

Let me know (off list) if this doesn't work, as there are some free programs
out there for converting images from one color-depth/resoluction to another.
