I imagined a cluster of grapes on it's side, and what I saw looked very much like a pile of Horse APPLES. This is probably the handiwork of a MacProgrammer gone bad, or one who has been captured and forced to program for the Blue Horde. Let's try to backtrack this one and send them an IBM program that makes rude noises. (oh, they wouldn't be able to figure out what the noises are, given the quality of the IBM-PC sound system, oh well ...:-) Seriously, use ResEdit to look at the icons in any suspect programs you may have downloaded. If you can find the original copy of the icon, you've found the source of the problem. - Andrew -- Andrew C.
