  Hi all,

  I'm looking for some way to make a bitmap in windows.  I have been =
looking on the 'net for any tool - but all I find are =
unix/linux/not-windows utilities.
  The reason I'd like an X11 bitmap is so I can use it for my icon in a =
tkinter program I'm making.  I am sure that I can make a normal bitmap =
with colours as my icon - because I have seen other tcl/tk programs do =
it.  However, I cannot find any mention of it in the docs or the book =
'Python and Tkinter Programming'.
  Specifically, this is what I'm trying to do...

from tkinter import *
root =3D TK()
myicon =3D BitmapImage(file=3Dr'C:\icon.bmp')
root.iconbitmap(icon)

  Seems it only wants a monochrome bitmap in that case.

  Thanks for any help,
  Glen.
