For EMUDESK.INF, "use the source, Luke".  Although generally I (and previous 
developers) have made an effort to make EMUDESK.INF as much like 
DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF as possible, don't expect that it will always be the 
same.

Attached is a PDF (in English) which describes DESKTOP.INF & NEWDESK.INF. I 
think it's fairly accurate.

By the way, as of a fairly recent release, there is now a "Release" line (#R) 
in EMUDESK.INF.  This will change when there are changes to the format of 
EMUDESK.INF that are not backward-compatible, so that EmuTOS can determine how 
to parse the contents (and so that we shouldn't need a NEWEMU.INF file in the 
future).
