Help. How do you insert a custom icon into your standalone?

[Mark Swindell]

I don't know (and I can't emphasize that enough), but it would seem  
possible that there are particular algorithms that could shrink PNG's  
to the specific sizes required for the various OSes while retaining  
acceptable quality.   What do the freeware guys use to do what they  
do?   Maybe Rev could license their algorithms cheaply and  
incorporate them if they're not freely available.   (I'm not trying  
to spend Rev's money, it's just a thought.) As I say, I'm clueless to  
all except the mysteries and inconvenience of creating x-platform  
icons, and it's not because I haven't tried to learn.
