Does anyone know if it is possible to usefully get the EmacsW32
emacsclient to work happily with, say, a cygwin emacs-server instance?
Apart from being curious, and just enjoying making things do stuff they
might never have been intended to do, I would like to avoid running more
than one emacs instance and sometimes just want to quickly double click
a file in explorer and have emacs(W32) open it.

Are there reasons to use emacs-server in cygwin and not the
emacs(W32)-server (if there is?)?
Don't know if it works but normally they don't find each other, maybe
setting the protocol to TCP might make it work...

I do most of my work in a cygwin console environment (the tools are
better, the environment is closer to the ultimate target environment,
and so on), so yeah, I have my reasons :)

I tried it out at one point, and I think it's just a matter of pointing
them both to the same 'server' file. I didn't get time to follow it up
any further, due to deadline piling into deadline, piling into deadline.

I see, then maybe why not using a virtual machine with a real operating
system and tramp?
With the controlmaster option is quite fast and you would avoid using
the crappy cygwin..

Not my choice. I suppose I could install a VM into Windows, but it
doesn't appeal.

But.. I like cygwin.

I agree with you, Gary. It does make sense to use ntemacs + cygwin. Not all
of us can kick off windows, say me :(.
Gary, I am not sure whether I have caught your point in your original
question.
Here is what I do.
# step1: add below line in my emacs configuration file.
(server-start) ;; emacs-client
# step2: Change the preference programs of plain text files in Windows, and
point them to ~/bin/emacsclientw.exe.
Regards,
Denny

Okay. You mean the cygwin version of emacs?

Thanks. I will give it a go. I just wasn't sure if I would see any odd
behaviour due to incompatibilities between the cygwin and windows emacs
versions.
