I can load PNG files into OPW but any transparent areas are rendered as
black.
OPW renders transparency correctly  in sprites and gifs but not in PNGs - is
this so?

Apparently transparency in PNG's is not handled.

I was surprised, but there is little attempt to use transparency data.

I'm sure I could do better. There is an issue though in that PNG's support alpha channels (as opposed to simple 100% transparent/100% opaque).
