Borland's BWCC.DLL contains glyphs (bitmaps) of icons that appear in
message boxes in Borland's own products - a red hand, "?", "!" and "i".
Yet I can't find any documented way of using them.  I've designed
a custom message box class that uses the grey "bordlg" style, and these
icons would look better than the Windows standard ones (which I'm also
not sure of how to access).

Are these BWCC glyphs documented, or just transient things that may go
away in a future release?

I'd rather not mess with figuring out the monitor resolution, then
deciding which glyph to yank directly out of the DLL (there appear to
be VGA, EGA and CGA versions in there).  Is there a better way?

Many thanks.
Jimmy
