Copyright doesn't mean you can't distribute the source. All previous
versions of MicroEMACS have been copyrighted *and* had the source
available (and have usually been distributed as source-only). The
"About..." box just gives the uEMACS for Windows author's name (can't
remember it right now, but it sounded French) but doesn't say anything
about how to get the source for the Windows version.

I *have* got my own (for Program Manager) ;-) But if I remember correctly,
you can't change the desktop (Minimized) icon to anything other than the
built-in one (for a Windows app) or the DOS-box icon (for a DOS app).
