Generation of Icons
-------------------

The bitmaps in subdirectory "Bitmaps" can be used to generate Windows 
.ico icon files.

I used a simple tool called IconPro, available from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwui/html/msdn_icons.asp
(This tool is primarily intended as an example of the code for manipulation of
icon resources, but seems valuable in its own right.)

This allows a new icon to be generated; an icon consists of one or more 
formats (16x16, 32x32, etc). Formats can be added, and a bitmap file used to
populate each. The facility to set a particular colour as transparent (see
Help > About for details) is useful.
