RE: Re: gnuserver and client for the Win9x version

Sorry, it was my mistake. I found out what caused the difference.  My
intallation of XEmacs on Windows follows a directory structure similar
to UNIX, IOW I but the new XEmacs trees under a lib directory under
emacs_root and then copy the i586-pc-win32 to a bin directory
emacs_root.  If I create the shortcut from the bin directory then it
finds the site-start properly. If I start it from the i586-pc-win32, it
does not, as expected.  I had just created the shortcut to winclient
from the i586-pc-win32, and that was the problem.

So, the only remaining question is now: What is the deal with gnuserv?
Is there a replacement binary for that or what?

Thanks.

Subject: Re: gnuserver and client for the Win9x version

I have been using some gnuclientw and gnuserv executable I got from
somewhere a few years ago. They seem to work.  It is pain to keep
migrating them along with every new XEmacs version, so I am glad to hear
that they are being incorporated into the distribution.

I tried winclient, and it seems to work.  I noticed the following
behavior, however, and your ideas are welcome.  When I execute winclient
from a cygwin window it loads the site-start.el and all my
customizations. When I execute it by clicking on a shortcut, it just
opens a vanilla window and does not load site-start.  With my old
gnuclientw, clicking on the shortcut loads the site-start.
The only thing I can think of is that my .bashrc defines a bunch of
variables under cygwin that may make a difference for winclient.  What
do you think?


Also, I did not see a gnuserv executable next to the gnuclient.  What is
the story there?  Is there any documentation on how the newer winclient
is replacing old gnuserv/gnuclient?

XEmacs-21.4.xx comes with i586-pc-win32\winclient.exe

Try that and report back, please!

It's available from
