Some way of setting fonts and window size would be nice. What would be
nicer would some proper documentation for the Windows version, and the
source code. It ain't shareware, so where's the source?

And a prettier icon would be nice too :-)

BTW. I think ordinary DOS uEMACS can just about handle 250k files on a 640k
PC. I'll be impressed if Windows uEMACS can handle *really* big files.
