Re: Some findings and suggestion about Emacs on w32

Hmm, well I've not looked at emacsclient for nigh on ten years so it 
doesn't exactly suprise me that there is no longer much difference 
between gnuclient and emacsclient.

I'd be more than happy to take a look at the two of them again and see 
what needs to be done to get emacsclient up and running on Windows. That 
said I've been very happy with what gnuclient offers, which is why I've 
not bothered changing it for quite a long time - heck I think that the 
download on my site is dated something like 1996.

Anyway I'll take a look at see what's involved.
