i do use emacsclient a fair amount and i enable its server with
server-start. i have a commented out gnuserv-start line as it doesn't
seem to be found. this is GNU Emacs 21.2.1. it seems to be an Xemacs
feature (i do find gnuclient and gnudoit installed as i tried out xemacs
a while back).

that would be ideal if i could get gnuserv to work in gnu emacs. where
is the lisp library for it?
