Re: Some findings and suggestion about Emacs on w32

[Lennart Borgman]

I think that would be very good. It would make it more easy switching
between using Emacs on different os:es. And ms windows users too would have
a full Emacs in the distribution.

I would be glad if someone could explain how the server is started when
using emacsclient. Is it done the same way as when using gnuclient/gnuserv?
Could the server part be started automatically by giving arguments to
emacsclient or does it have to be in the startup files? Or is it done
automatically?
