The reason the help refers to ICC is probably due to one of two factors. Either ICC support was removed shortly before the release (I think not likely), or they simply did not have time to change the documentation (more likely). You should contact Convekta support to see if they can figure out why your icon does not work. It is fine in my copy. I excerpted the ad copy below, which says nothing of ICC support. However, it does not say specifically that ICC support is still present, and so I can see where you might think that it is. But to instantly imply that there is some sort of nefarious reason is not called for. Bob Database: Huge database of 2 675 000 games (collected by October 1, 2004); as many as 24 000 commented games.
