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. Guy http://www.wyrdrune.com/gnuserv.html Jason Rumney wrote: >Richard Stallman writes: > > > >>We could consider merging gnuserv into Emacs.
