That explains why the icon looks better than I expected it to :-)
I've ironed out a few very minor Windows differences.  I apparently 
did well with the code, as I knew I was going to release it for all 
three platforms, so coded accordingly during creation.  There were 
not many changes to be made.  I used a cross platform font, so most 
fields and buttons looked about the same.  A few (buttons) were off 
kilter, and I could not find a good cross platform solution, so I 
fixed those in a startup script (if the platform is "MacOS" set the 
textfont, size, and height, if the platform is "Win32", set the 
textfont... yada yada).
I want to give my kudos to Scott Raney, for creating such a usable 
cross-platform program.  Integration with Windows was almost 
painless.  But for that pesky icon difficulty.
