Hi Dick,

Yes, I've been creating the .zip package. I'll uncomment and have a look at
the NSIS stuff to see if I can see a way of it not getting scrunched. I
have looked at the svg before.

Possibly we do need to create the right sized bmp from the svg first with
inkscape or something and then give that to NSIS. I'll have a look at it
anyway.

Best Regards, Brian.
