What does the hex dump utility show me?, will it just be "a hex dump" or can
it show you icons and bitmaps? If it doe show bitmaps/icons then I would be
very interested to have a look.
Interesting about the icon you got, I wonder why I get a different icon?.
What version of delphi did you use to test it on?, and what Delphi Patch?
Chris

I've got a hex dump utility to examine files - an off take of the resource
explorer if you need to have a look.
As to the other - I got the correct and expected Icon - not the delphi icon.
