Have you tried just opening a cursor file with your program? Manyt will.
You can also open cursor files with numerous graphic programs - including
IrfanView - and save them as ico, jpg, bmp, etc. However, you may not be
able to get it back to cursor format.
The main difference between an icon and a cursor is the "hot spot" in a
cursor. The hot spot of a cursor is the pixel location that Windows sends
to a program as a user moves the cursor or clicks a mouse button. For
example, the hot spot pixel of an arrow cursor would be the pixel location
at the "point" of the arrow. Editors that will handle cursors let you
select the hot spot.
If your program won't do cursors, check out this...
