I did not think of that, but then the problem with the chiken and the egg is solved by me ;-) -- and many others. For gnuserv/gnuclient (from Guy Gascoigne-Piggford) it works like this: - Gnuclient.exe starts Emacs if it is not started. - I did a test and added an option to make Emacs start gnuserv automatigally (simply by using the --load switch to Emacs). Works nice I think. I believe that many users would expect the server to start like this (but maybe I am wrong?). From a user interface view that is how many programs really behave on ms windows, but many users of course never notice this. - Lennart
