Lotus SmartIcons (.smi) is an icon-related format associated with some Lotus products, including SmartSuite and Word Pro.
[edit] Discussion
An SMI file defines an icon "set", or toolbar. It does not contain the icon graphics.
It contains a set of icon definitions, each of which may be a reference to a built-in icon, or a custom icon definition. A custom icon definition could include the name of a BMP file containing the graphics, and the name of an .LWP script file defining the icon's behavior.
[edit] Identification
Files begin with ASCII "IC". (This isn't very distinctive. A number of other formats begin this way.)
In at least some files, the next three bytes are 0x34 0x03 0x00. At offset 5 is an ASCII name.
