Finally got a copy of Brilliance after all these years! The installer asks to copy an included program, SetPatchMrgCop, to C: and to run it in user-startup. It says it's a patch for bugs present in all versions of the OS.
Does anyone have a better idea of what it does and whether it's still necessary with OS 3.1 and SetPatch v43 (which were not available at the time Brilliance shipped)?
A quick hex read of the file shows that it's doing something with a .resource and graphics.library. If anyone has more experience with this tool please chime in :)
Would prefer not to have random patches running on my system - trying to keep this machine as a very clean 3.1 setup. I'll probably remove it from user-startup and run it at go-time for Brilliance.

I didn't run it for years and never had any problems with Brilliance. Just the nag requester when I opened it. ;)

Thanks Mike. I'm guessing the setpatchmrgcop.resource is what Brilliance tries to hook into to determine whether to throw up the nag requester. At least that would make it a system-friendly way to do so :)
Will see if I can find the v40 release notes for graphics.library to see if there are any obvious fixes of relevance to a paint program.
