Elaine,

Please forgive me for taking so long to answer you -- it's been a very 
long and busy week for me!

Thanks for the kind words on my work.  Ironically, I've always thought 
that the icons were the weakest part of my work, so it's especially 
nice to hear that someone particularly likes them.

I have no trouble with you releasing the modified icons for Windows 
users.  As for credit, simply list them as either "based on designs by 
Richard Bensam" or "inspired by designs by Richard Bensam" or something 
to that effect, and if you include a text file with the download make 
sure to mention that you ported and released them with my permission.  
I wouldn't want to take credit for the work when I didn't touch the 
actual pixels, so to speak, but at the same time I'm very keen on 
people knowing they have to check with me first.  The fact that you did 
makes me completely happy.  ;-)

Thanks again, and best wishes

RAB
