Hi all, long time since I was here posting so appoligies if this isn't the 
correct group.

Just a quick one, I'm have a problem with my applications resource files.  I 
have quite a few xp style icons with alpha masking on them, I want to create 
a resource file (graphics.res) to contain them so I can  compile them into 
may application and access them.  I started off creating a .rc file and 
compiling it with BRCC32.EXE.  No dreams but the icons are not compiled 
correctly i.e. the alpha masking is over written / converted to black which 
looks crap.  Tried the same things with Borland Resource Workshop and (sorry 
to say) Visual C++ 6.  All the same, alpha masking is corrupted.

Bit stuck now so any suggestions would be excellant,

Thanks in advance,

Mike Collins
