Message-ID: <3CC6E88C.4080402@ece.gatech.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1019664383.2991.70.camel@saratoga>
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.)
