PNG transparency woes

[Hugh Senior]

Thank you Richmond. I shall follow up your leads. IrfanView is,
nevertheless, a very fine and useful bit of kit on win32 for quick n' dirty
img manipulation... Just wish it did png transpanecies that rev can
understand!

I mainly work with Mac and Linux; however, I do, from time to time,
pop together things for Windows.

My experience is that (in the Open Source/FREE world to which IrfanView
belongs) GIMP consistently produces PNG files that maintain their
transparency regardless of which platform one is punting them to in
Runtime Revolution stacks/standalones.

Windows-oriented friends of mine tell me that paint.net is also
a good thing:
