From Yitzhak

(2 troublesome bands removed
and will follow later)
Here's the new patch with the Windows improvements; this should apply to the
3.4.2 tree. Note the changed filename in the diff lines.
What's in it:
> some MessageBox tidbits:
> - Let all MessageBoxes display an icon
> - Introduced NHMessageBox to have messageboxes display a consistent title
> - Change icon in mswin_display_file from MB_ICONERROR to MB_ICONEXCLAMATION
> for non-fatal error
>
> And to solve #U355: NetHackW won't run on Win2K OS:
> - Avoid a crash when closing the main window while the splash screen is
> displayed.
> - Make sure NetHack starts normal when closed minimized
> - Center the splash screen on the screen, not on the parent window (which may
> be off-screen)
What's new in it:
- Show copyright banner in textbox in splash screen instead of over the picture
- Show news in splash screen only if iflags.news (solves W341-6)
- show complete version information in splash screen when it is used as about
box
