NeoDesk icon is an icon format associated with the NeoDesk graphical environment for the Atari ST family of computers, developed by Gribnif Software.
Identification
There are 3 versions NeoDesk icon files. Version 1 and 2 are uncompressed and have no signature or header. (Since the first icon often depicts a floppy drive which is oblong in it's appearance the top row, consisting of 32 bits, is often empty and thus consisting of zeros.)
Version 1 always have 9 icon, 232 bytes each, a total file size of exactly 2088 bytes.
Version 2 can have any number of icons, 244 bytes each. Thus the file size is a multiple of 244.
Version 3 begin with the ASCII signature ".NIC".
