As you might know, Microsoft has recently released "Bash on Ubuntu on
Windows" which allows running Ubuntu under Windows (like cygwin, but
better).
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about
I was wondering if there was anyway to get gnuclient to work with this. For
example, using emacs-24.2 for MS Windows I setup the right-click menu of
Windows explorer to run emacsclientw.exe so that I can automatically load
the file into emacs.
Recently I have switched to running XEmacs under "Bash on Ubuntu on
Windows" using xming as my X-server. XEmacs comes up just fine, but I would
really like to figure out how to send its server a message to open a file.
I have no problem accessing the file from within XEmacs but I would guess
that using the server is a hopeless task, since in a way the XEmacs is
running under a different operating system.
Can you assist me with this? Even if just by saying "it is hopeless".
TIA,
David Klein

XEmacs has their own mailing list, it might be better to ask there.

Of course, you may also stay here and use Emacs instead, which also
works great in X-Windows.
