[comp.windows.ms] editing bitmaps

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.

Depending on your timeframe, our company will be coming out with something 
called the Resource Toolkit (I plugged it on here a while back).  It's got a
really neat color bitmap editor that would probably do the trick for you.

It'll be available in the middle of September if you can wait till then.
