I plan to write a program which converts a jpg to osx icon.
Does anyone have any information how to do the conversion?
I need to use the program to process a few hundred of icons.
Thanks.

I believe that Graphic Convertor does this. It is scriptable and has a batch conversion mode.

I think the hard part is getting the JPEG and TIFF images converted into PICT format. NSImage has support for PICT, but I don't know if it will do the conversion.. Anyway, once you have the PICT data check out the "Reading, Copying, and Converting Icon Data" functions in the Carbon documentation.
