I assume that's because in server.el, make-network-process is called with these args: :family 'local :service server-socket-name This only works if AF_LOCAL (aka. AF_UNIX) is supported by the O/S -- so I would assume it isn't supported on Windoze... Probably, the solution is to use a local network connection if :family 'local isn't supported. This can be tested in lisp with (featurep 'make-network-process '(:family local)) Maybe Stefan can help you here. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
