-; Updated for XEmacs, GNU Emacs 19 and Epoch V4 to use multiple frames
-; by Bob Weiner, <weiner@mot.com>, 1/20/94.  (Still works with Emacs V18, too.)
-;    Modified 'server-process-filter' to use \^D as end of request terminator
-;      as gnuclient and gnudoit have been modified to send.  This permits
-;      multi-line requests.
-;    Modified 'server-make-window-visible' to work with multiple frames.
-;    Modified 'server-find-file' to display in a separate frame when possible.
-;    Modified 'server-edit' to delete newly created frame when used to
-;      terminate an edit and to signal an error if called within a
-;      non-server-edit buffer.
-; Bob Weiner, <weiner@mot.com>, 5/9/94.
-;    Added 'server-done-function' variable.  Made default value 'kill-buffer'
-;    instead of 'bury-buffer' as in original gnuserv.el.
-;
-; Darrell Kindred <dkindred+@cmu.edu> May/1994
-; Updated to allow multi-line return values:
-;    - output to gnuserv is "m/n:xxx" where m is the client number,
-;      n is the length of the data, and xxx is the data itself, followed 
-;      by newline
-;
-; Arup Mukherjee <arup+@cmu.edu> May/1994
-; Updated for XEmacs 19.10, and others:
-;    - use find-file-other-screen if present
-;    - new variable gnuserv-frame can be set to a frame or screen which
-;      is used for all edited files. 
-;    - check to see if server.el is already loaded and complain if it is, since
-;      gnuserv.el can't coexist with server.el
-;    - rename server-start to gnuserv-start, although server-start remains as
-;      an alias. This allows gnuserv-start to be autoloaded from gnuserv.el
-;    - changed server-get-buffer to take into account that in newer emacsen,
-;      get buffer returns nil on deleted buffers.
-;    - only try to create/delete frames or screens if window-system is non-nil 
-;      (otherwise things don't work w/ emacs19 on a dumb terminal)
-;
-; Ben Wing <wing@666.com> sometime in 1995
-; Updated to allow `gnuattach'-type connections to the existing TTY
-;
-; Ben Wing <wing@666.com> May/1996
-; patch to get TTY terminal type correct.
-;
-; Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof@math.ethz.ch> July/1996
-; ported the server-temp-file-regexp feature from server.el
-; ported server hooks from server.el
-; ported kill-*-query functions from server.el (and made it optional)
-; synced other behaviour with server.el
+;;; Commentary:
+ 
+;; Gnuserv is run when Emacs needs to operate as a server for other
+;; processes.  Specifically, any number of files can be attached for
+;; editing to a running XEmacs process using the `gnuclient' program.
+
+;; Use `M-x gnuserv-start' to start the server and `gnuclient files'
+;; to load them to XEmacs.  When you are done with a buffer, press
+;; `C-x #' (`M-x gnuserv-edit').  You can put (gnuserv-start) to your
+;; .emacs, and enable `gnuclient' as your Unix "editor".  When all the
+;; buffers for a client have been edited and exited with
+;; `gnuserv-edit', the client "editor" will return to the program that
+;; invoked it.
+
+;; Your editing commands and Emacs' display output go to and from the
+;; terminal or X display in the usual way.  If you are running under
+;; X, a new X frame will be open for each gnuclient.  If you are on a
+;; TTY, this TTY will be attached as a new device to the running
+;; XEmacs, and will be removed once you are done with the buffer.
+
+;; To evaluate a Lisp form in a running Emacs, use the `gnudoit'
+;; utility.  For example `gnudoit "(+ 2 3)"' will print `5', whereas
+;; `gnudoit "(gnus)"' will fire up your favorite newsreader.  Like
+;; gnuclient, `gnudoit' requires the server to be started prior to
+;; using it.
+
+;; For more information you can refer to man pages of gnuclient,
+;; gnudoit and gnuserv, distributed with XEmacs.
+
+;; gnuserv.el was originally written by Andy Norman as an improvement
+;; ver William Sommerfeld's server.el.  Since then, a number of people
+;; have worked on it, including Bob Weiner, Darell Kindred, Arup
+;; Mukherjee, Ben Wing and Jan Vroonhof.  It was completely rewritten
+;; (labeled as version 3) by Hrvoje Niksic in May 1997.
+
+;; Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof@math.ethz.ch> July/1996
+;; ported the server-temp-file-regexp feature from server.el
+;; ported server hooks from server.el
+;; ported kill-*-query functions from server.el (and made it optional)
+;; synced other behaviour with server.el
+;;
+;; Jan Vroonhof
+;;     Customized.
+;;
+;; Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr> May/1997
+;;     Completely rewritten.  Now uses `defstruct' and other CL stuff
+;;     to define clients cleanly.  Dave, thanks!
