Marty,

You know, I'd actually thought about something like that. I'm also going to supply snippets to demonstrate how to programmatically use the class. So from there, I wouldn't think it'd be too much work to add a call that would take care of this from BeforeBuild.

Since, as usual, the complete code will be provided, people will be able to modify the class as needed.

I've used C++ as an image editor. While I'm fairly good with free hand drawing, I'm a flop at icon design. So I've alway kept a copy of the Image Editor from 5.0 around, because of its ability to shrink the icon correctly. Now, however, there won't be a need for it.
