I seem to remember an earlier message that suggested that the emacs server mode could work for client processes on a remote host. Did I misunderstand? I am working on a front-end to emacs that violates this assumption, and would like to know if I am making a mistake. Thanks, -David- david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.

Thanks, -David- Andy Norman's gnuserv program (submitted to the FSF for V19) allows you to issue requests to edit a file on a host "B", and cause the Emacs program running on host "A" to retrieve (via NFS) and edit the requested file. You can also execute arbitrary elisp forms from a remote machine and retrieve the return value. You have a choice of using Internet-domain sockets, Unix-domain sockets, or SYSV IPC. -- Darryl Okahata UUCP: {hplabs!, hpcea!, hpfcla!} hpnmd!darrylo Internet: darrylo%hpnmd@hpcea.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
