Just as a matter of curiosity (not because I want to get into a debate with anyone) -- what was RMS' reason for not wanting to include all the icons in runemacs.exe?

Again, this app is the ultimate overkill for icons. So if you're into that sort of thing... If you want to go the long way, but full freeware, IrfanView is a fine piece of win32 freeware-works great and doesn't nag you-and can be found at: http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474/ You'll need to pass the icon to this app via .jpg or .png (Stallman doesn't like the CompuServe .gif!) As for this being a "thoroughly ignorant question", well maybe you are right, but every one of us doesn't know something that thousands of other people find obvious. You know something I don't know, and I'd tell you what that is, if I knew it! but if we all help each other out... http://www.opensource.org/ <-- not as far left as RMS, but then again, who is?

A quick attempt at changing the icon showed that the unix-style switch "-i" doesn't work and the alternative "-i myfavorite.ico" opens up an emacs buffer witih myfavorite.ico in it. Changing the shortcut for runemacs (which seems to be the recommended way to start ntemacs) doesn't have an effect on the emacs program itself. I don't want to change the executable emacs.exe. I am in favor of the plan to > We could link _all_ of the icons into emacs.exe (and runemacs.exe), and > provide support for selecting the desired icon when Emacs is running. and suggest the function name (set-frame-icon) --- yes, by frame --- in parallel with, and using as precedent, the new command (set-frame-name) Rich
