Okay, I found it -- my installer will have to set this up when I deploy the
app --

Again, COLDstitch is designed to exploit the Windows OS, and anything below
98 won't be supported (and anything below XP/2000 won't have the transparent
dialog box either, but that's going to be optional).

I use the CImage class in GDI+ to load the PNG. However, if I find I don't
use that class anywhere else in the application, I'm going to dump it and
just put a solid bitmap up there because it isn't worth limiting my audience
for an about box (no matter how cool it would look to have a transparent one
like Photoshop does).

PS: Sweet IRTC animation, Tom! May your reaper find SPAM asap :-)
