Thanks.
Try the 'run' utility in the X-startup-scripts package. The comment at the top of the source pretty much explains it: /* * This program is based on the runemacs.c distributed with XEmacs 21.0 * * Simple program to start gnu-win32 X11 programs (and native XEmacs) * with its console window hidden. * * This program is provided purely for convenience, since most users will * use XEmacs in windowing (GUI) mode, and will not want to have an extra * console window lying around. Ditto for desktop shortcuts to gnu-win32 * X11 executables. */ Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
