[comp.emacs] Remote Gnumacs servers?

edward@csvaxa.UUCP (Edward Wilkinson) (06/21/88)

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.
