Submission of Netscape spash screen patcher

[Info-Mac]

As soon as I learned of the release of Netscape 1.1b, I ftp'd a copy
and tried it out. Excellent though the application is, the startup
splash picture is conspicuous by its dreadfulness (especially on a
monitor displaying 16 or 24 bit color). I suppose that Netscape
Communications Corp may well replace it in the final release, but I
decided to beat them to it and after 15 minutes with Resedit and
Photoshop I came up with a version more aesthetically pleasing. I
used Michael HechtUs ResCompare to simplify the upgrade process for
others and named it "Netscape splash-screen patch".

The patch is, of course, completely freeware and I hope I'm not
stepping on any Netscape toes in releasing it to the Mac community.
If anybody wants to send me email with comments on my effort, they
would be more than welcome.
