And it is nice. Now I can ditch the chain of 57 scripts it takes to
patch gnuclient into explorer. Some questions...
Will the DDE integration use gnuserv/gnuclient?
No. It connects to XEmacs directly and enqueues the filename into the event
loop. gnuserv/gnuclient is not necessary.
Is it possible to set up DDE without running netinstall?
Yes. Its just an explorer thing. Various people have posted scripts to do this.
Are you planning to canonicalise the file or buffer names so that
c:\dir\file and /cygdrive/c/dir/file are treated the same?
I've thought about this. Yes we should probably do this but it would be
interesting to have some others thoughts on this. Incidentally the dde
support canonicalizes filenames already, its only filenames on the command
line that aren't.
