Which icons? The installer and uninstaller icons? Except for a misguided attempt to borrow an icon from Xconq.ico for the Xconq documents, I don't recall having any other icons. > available.

I think that I will need to use windres, which is provided with Cygwin, to use the Xconq.RC file to make an obj file to link in. > I just checked in the new document icons for Windows. So when you get > around to binding icons, you could bind those to the xcq extension. Will do. Thanks. I also think it might be a good idea to toss up a GPL license screen at the beginning of the install process. I played with that yesterday but was experiencing some issues. And I envision a user being able to choose between a "Minimal" (xconq.exe plus game library and support stuff), "Standard" (Minimal plus imfapp.exe), and "Full" install (Standard plus the sources). I have rudimentary support for this in the install script, but nothing that is visible yet. I suppose "Custom" could also become an option, __but, one thing at a time. Eric P.S. I will check in my NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) script later this week. Nullsoft is the same company that makes Winamp, which is why the installer interface might seem familiar to some.
