Hullo all.  
Being somewhat new to windows programming, I scoured all of the literature
(including the FAQ for this group) before asking a question.  (I do hate
reading repeat questions!)  Anyway, I would like to display an icon from
either another .EXE or an .ICO file -- not one of the resources in my .EXE.
Basically, I want to do what program manager does with them.  "No problem,"
I thought.  "That should be easy, right?  Lotsa programs do it!"  Well,
several days and many manuals later, I still have no answer.  If someone
could enlighten me (either my email or posting -- whatever catches your
fancy), I would appreciate it.  I am using borland c++ 3.0 (without AF,
at least in this application), windows 3.0 in 386enh mode.

Thanks!
