Both started from the same base and then diverged. gnuclient can contact an Emacs running on another host for editing files. Also, using the gnudoit program you can tell the Emacs server to execute arbitrary Lisp code. If you use NT Emacs, then the NT Emacs FAQ (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html) has some hints. For XEmacs, gnuclient is the standard package I think. Otherwise, Google probably helps. There are a lot of implementations and ports of gnuclient floating around, and I'm not sure at the moment which is the most recent / best one. kai PS: Using gnuclient as an abbreviation for gnuclient/gnuserv. -- ~/.signature is: umop 3p!sdn (Frank Nobis)
