Hello,
        I am having trouble with a bitmap that our app displays
        on startup.  Someone created it but forgot how it was 
        done.  Now I need to modify it (it contains the software
        version number ... bad move) and nothing I have tried 
        can read it in.  Here are some of the things I have tried

                iconedit, paint, easel, inavision, 
                designer, pagemaker, xvtdraw

                I think that is all of them.

        Now here is the kicker, I created a bitmap with iconedit
        and used it in place of the one I want to modify.  The program
        displayed it fine although it was 1/4 of the size of the 
        one I want to modify.  This makes me think that the bitmap
        I have is in a standard format, but which one.

        any hints would be appreciated

                                        thanks much

                                        charlie g.
