News from XEmacs land: 1) there are two "windows" ports of XEmacs: a fully native port, and a cygwin port.
2) Both of these ports use so-called "native windowing": that is, they use MSWindows GDI calls to paint their display. Neither port uses X; they cannot be redirected (graphically) thru the network to display remotely. 3) If you want that capability, you can only do so with the cygwin build -- but you'll have to build it yourself. Also, the cygwin-with-X-windowing build has not been widely used (or tested). It may have suffered bitrot. 4) I *believe* that both the native port and the cygwin port support the '-nw' flag, which allows you to use XEmacs in a tty. Therefore, it is probably possible, with the prebuilt native or cygwin versions of xemacs, to ssh in to your windows box, and use 'xemacs -nw' to edit files. (Of course, you need a working cygwin ssh daemon running on your windows box, but that's a whole 'nother topic.) --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
