Is there a version of Gnumacs which allows a remote Gnumacs to run in conjunction with a local part? This would allow the local part to do such simple things as self-insert-command, delete-backward-char, while the remote part does things like byte-compile-file, load-file and other more expensive tasks. The main advantage with this is that a PC user could edit files with fast response times for simple stuff which usually takes ages on a highly loaded bigger machine. This approach could also work with workstations. Ideas? Or has this already been done? I know I'd prefer to use full Gnumacs on my PC instead of some local subsubset of emacs which fits into 640k or whatever. -- Ed Wilkinson @ Computer Centre, Massey University, Palmerston North, NZ uucp: {uunet,watmath!cantuar}!vuwcomp!csvaxa!edward DTE: 530163000005 Janet/Greybook: E.Wilkinson@nz.ac.massey Phone: +64 63 69099 x8587 CSnet/ACSnet/Internet: E.Wilkinson@massey.ac.nz New Zealand = GMT+12
