size of windows icons

[Alain Vaillancourt]

If you have an answer to Barton Spencer's request please post it to 
the list.  I too would be interested in ways to go around the Windows 
size limitations eventually, since I am currently planning ahead for 
the practical aspects of prototypes for my future PhD research. 
Some of it involves the standard 16, 32 and 48 (if you have Microsoft 
Plus) pixel icons, of course, but it should deal with larger ones, 
possibly.

Au revoir
