nedit -server not working

nedit -server not working

[Mark Jackson]

Since updating my (rather stale) Cygwin installation in late December I 
find that the server mode of nedit isn't working.  Both "nc" (which I 
had been accustomed to using) and "nedit -server" open nedit as if the 
server flag were not there.

What am I missing?

(Cygwin/X 1.13.0, NEdit 5.5 (Nov. 18 build), on Windows 7 Home Premium)

Normal behavior - at least as I have experienced it on SunOS and 
Solaris, and Cygwin until the December upgrade - is that the shell 
prompt returns, and subsequent invocations of "nc filename" open 
additional tabs in the nedit window created by the initial invocation.

At present control is not returned to the shell.  Launching nedit as a 
separate process by other means does not result in it acting as a server 
- that is, a subsequent "nc filename" launches a fresh nedit window.

OK, is *anyone* using nedit on Cygwin these days?  If so, would you 
please tell me whether server mode is working properly for you?
