That's an improvement. Now it makes a window; previously it didn't.  But no
picture and these error messages:

It is possible and perhaps probable that I didn't install wxSplashScreen.e
correctly from the message, because I find that a bit confusing.

Commenting out this line in the demo:

splash = create( wxSplashScreen, { bmp,
 wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN + wxSPLASH_TIMEOUT, 2000, main })

stops the error messages.

There is a bmp file in the directory that the demo is in, and the bmp is named
correctly in the demo.
