That explains why the icon looks better than I expected it to :-)
I've ironed out a few very minor Windows differences. I apparently
did well with the code, as I knew I was going to release it for all
three platforms, so coded accordingly during creation. There were
not many changes to be made. I used a cross platform font, so most
fields and buttons looked about the same. A few (buttons) were off
kilter, and I could not find a good cross platform solution, so I
fixed those in a startup script (if the platform is "MacOS" set the
textfont, size, and height, if the platform is "Win32", set the
textfont... yada yada).
I want to give my kudos to Scott Raney, for creating such a usable
cross-platform program. Integration with Windows was almost
painless. But for that pesky icon difficulty.
