[Description of doing this with ResEdit followed in the quoted posting.]

Since writing the above I discovered an easier way to create the PICT
-15996 in Puzzle:  use the Suitcase II DA to close open DA suitcases (to
make sure that the conflicting PICT -15996 resource is not present); open
Puzzle; choose Copy from the Edit menu; choose Paste from the Edit menu.
This creates a "custom" puzzle picture (resource PICT -15996) which is
merely a copy of the original picture.

I apologize to the author of Puzzle for my comment about "ResEdit-savvy
users," as the custom-picture feature is available to all users via the
Edit menu.
