be careful here tho.. this is a pretty good technique:
a) use ICONFAMILY for the icons
b) check the operating system state and then decide to terminate
or continue the application.
- you can throw up a "incompatable alert".
if you use ICONCOLOR - you will get FATAL EXCEPTIONS on any device
prior to 3.5 (from memory) - as your bitmap will be in the version
2 family, which earlier operating systems dont like so much :P
this technique will allow your app to be installed, without crashing
the machine, but with good code - you can decide if the app can
run or not in your startup routines.
cheers.
