QTR-Quadtone RIP

I don't have dual monitors, so this is something I can't check out. At any
rate, these icons are part of the support package I am using. I will forward
this observation to the developer in the hope he can figure out what is
wrong. At least we know the circumstances now.

Yes I do have a dual monitor set up. Primary monitor on the right with a
resolution of 2048x1536 and secondary monitor on the left with a resolution
of 1280x1024.

I deleted those two lines and that did allow the icons to work. The ini file
recreated the lines as FormTop= 58 FormLeft= -560 which positioned the
window flush agaist the r/hand edge of the secondary window about halfway
down.

However the curve display window could still not be closed by clicking the
red X. The curve display defaults to opening in the top left hand corner of
the secondary monitor.

If I then move the program rightwards on to my primary monitor all is well.
However if I move the program further to the left on the secondary monitor
Formtop becomes negative and then the icons stop working.

Maybe I'm a bit unusual having the secondary monitor on the left? It's not a
big deal for me which is why I didn't mention it until I saw the OP.

regards
Howard
