 Unisys ICON - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ICON was a computer built specifically for use in schools, to fill a standard created by the Ontario education ministry.
Unlike the PET's floppy system, however, users of the ICON needed to employ what were considered rather "arcane" Unix commands to copy data to their personal floppy disks from its "natural" location in the user's home directory on the hard drive.
The ICON found a wider following in the newly evolving "computer use" classes, where they were used to teach word processing and spreadsheets; this was frequently via the "QDOS" that allowed ICONs to run MS-DOS while making use of available networked storage.

 Unisys Corporation - encyclopedia article about Unisys Corporation.
Unisys is perhaps better known for its single patent on the LZW LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) is a lossless data compression algorithm.
In late August 1999, Unisys terminated its royalty-free LZW technology licenses for free software and non-commercial proprietary software and even for individual users of unlicensed programs, prompting the League for Programming Freedom to launch the Burn All GIFs campaign to inform the public of the alternatives.
The merger was the largest in the computer industry at the time and made Unisys the second largest computer company, with income of $10.5 billion.

Over the years QNX was used mostly for "larger" projects, as its 44k kernel was too large tofit inside the single-chip computers of the era.
In1982 the first version, QNX, was released for the Intel 8088 CPU.

 FAQ
AZ Icon Editor is a program developed by Herman Compute for creating and editing Windows icons and cursors (static or animated); being a professional product, it has a comprehensive coverage and an efficient arrangement.
You may do a little test: create a bitmap file of 32x32 pixels in size, then rename its file extension to ".ico", the Explorer would display it as if it is an ICO file.
Since their launch in 2001 (AZ Icon Editor) and 2004 (AZ Paint) respecitvely, the programs do not have any outstanding issue of bug or problem.
