start-server error

[ahnkle]

hi,

i am trying to get the emacs server/client working. the docs say use 
(start-server), but both cygwin and linux complain.

is it just broken, or am i missing something?

  Did you invoke the following?

  (require 'eudc)
  
  HTH

Actually, I think the docs say to call `server-start', not
`start-server', which is undefined. Perhaps this is the problem?

  Roger that. I left that out.
  Tip:
  type
  C-h a
  
  emacs says
  "Apropos command (regexp):"
  type
  
  server <return>
  The following help list made reference to the
  eudc module, which I then loaded and was provided
  with further documentation.

  NOTE: in some configurations, substitue F1 for C-h

It would help if you defined "emacs server" and "complain" in more
detail.

gnuclient/gnuserv work just fine on Linux, AIX, and native Windows.
I've never tried cygwin.
