As "the author" of the changes to Emacs2.0 that turned in Emacs2.1, I don't  
understand what you find strange.  I used the program for almost 6 months  
before it was placed on the archives.

The goal on opening a file was to be able to double-click on a file in the file  
viewer, and 1) have Emacs startup with the file visited in a buffer, or 2) have  
Emacs, already running, visit the file in a buffer.

Another goal was to be able to open many files at once.

These things it does (provided the DefaultOpenApp stuff is set in the  
workspace).  I am satisfied.  So please be more specific if you have a gripe.
