'''hDC Icon Designer''' is an icon editor for Wndows 2.x and 3.x. Its '''.IL''' format is a subtype of [[Icon library]] format. It stores Windows icons, in an [[New Executable|NE]] container.<br />
<br />
== Format details ==<br />
(More research may be needed.)<br />
<br />
An IL file is a valid [[New Executable]] file, labeled as being for Windows, and a DLL.<br />
<br />
There is an apparent signature, ASCII "{{magic|MIR}}", at offset 125 (immediately preceding the standard "{{magic|NE}}" header).<br />
<br />
As part of the executable DOS stub, a text message appears around offset 78. ASCII "{{magic|hDC Icon Designer Library}}" appears at offset 80.<br />
