------ gc-in-window-procedure fixes ------
alloc.c: Create "post-gc actions", to avoid those dreaded "GC during window
procedure" problems.
event-msw.c: Abort, clean and simple, when GC in window procedure. We want
to flush these puppies out.
glyphs-msw.c: Use a post-gc action when destroying subwindows.
lisp.h: Declare register_post_gc_action().
scrollbar-msw.c: Use a post-gc action when unshowing scrollbar windows, if in gc.
redisplay.c: Add comment about the utter evilness of what's going down here.
------ cygwin setitimer fixes ------
Makefile.in.in: Compile profile.c only when HAVE_SETITIMER.
nt.c: Style fixes.
nt.c: Move setitimer() emulation to win32.c, because Cygwin needs it too.
profile.c: Make sure we don't compile if no setitimer(). Use qxe_setitimer()
instead of just plain setitimer().
signal.c: Define qxe_setitimer() as an encapsulation around setitimer() --
call setitimer() directly unless Cygwin or MS Win, in which case
we use our simulated version in win32.c.
systime.h: Prototype mswindows_setitimer() and qxe_setitimer(). Long
comment about "qxe" and the policy regarding encapsulation.
win32.c: Move setitimer() emulation here, so Cygwin can use it.
Rename a couple of functions and variables to be longer and more
descriptive. In setitimer_helper_proc(), send the signal
using either mswindows_raise() or (on Cygwin) kill(). If for
some reason we are still getting lockups, we'll change the kill()
to directly invoke the signal handlers.
------ windows shell fixes ------
callproc.c, ntproc.c: Comments about how these two files must die.
callproc.c: On MS Windows, init shell-file-name from SHELL, then COMSPEC,
not just COMSPEC. (more correct and closer to FSF.) Don't
force a value for SHELL into the environment. (Comments added
to explain why not.)
nt.c: Don't shove a fabricated SHELL into the environment. See above.
------ misc fixes ------
glyphs-shared.c: Style correction.
xemacs-faq.texi: Merge in the rest of Hrvoje's Windows FAQ. Redo section 7
to update current reality and add condensed versions of
new changes for 21.1 and 21.4. (Not quite done for 21.4.)
Lots more Windows updates.
process.el: Need to quote a null
argument, too. From Dan Holmsand.
startup.el:
startup.el: Call MS Windows init function.
win32-native.el: Correct comments at top. Correctly handle passing arguments
to Cygwin programs and to bash. Fix quoting of zero-length
arguments (from Dan Holmsand). Set shell-command-switch based
on shell-file-name, which in turn comes from env var SHELL.

This file is not meant to be proper documentation. See the file gnuserv.1 for more information. **** NOTE: This version of gnuserv has some enhancements over the original version distributed by Andy Norman. See the end of this file for more details. **** To install, copy gnuserv.el into a directory on your GNU Emacs load-path. Edit Makefile and change INCLUDES to point to the src directory underneath your emacs source tree (or make yourself a config.h file in this directory by hand, starting with config.h.proto as a first cut) and type: make This should compile the server and the two clients. Now put gnuserv, gnuclient and gnudoit in a directory that users have in their executable search paths. File : Description ---------------------------------------------------------------- Makefile : Makefile to build gnuserv LICENSE : GNU General License README : this file gnuclient.c : editor client C code gnudoit.c : eval client C code gnuserv.1 : gnuserv man page gnuserv.c : server C code gnuserv.el : server LISP code for GNU Emacs V18,V19, XEmacs/Lucid Emacs and Epoch V4 gnuserv.h : server/client C header file gnuslib.c : server/client C common code src.x11fns.diff : diffs to src/x11fns to raise window (for emacs18) config.h.proto : Use this file as the starting point for constructing a config.h if you don't have access to the one that was used when compiling your emacs. If you find *any* problems at all with gnuserv, or you can think of better ways of doing things (especially remote file access), please e-mail me at one of the addresses below. ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com ange@hpl.hp.co.uk ...!hplabs!hplb!ange ...!ukc!hplb!ange This version of gnuserv has been enhanced by a number of people, including Bob Weiner <weiner@mot.com>, Darrell Kindred <dkindred@cmu.edu>, Arup Mukherjee <arup@cmu.edu>, and Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>. The modifications are basically as follows: Bob Weiner: Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to a buffer after the user is done with it. Mods to each of the .c files as well as gnuserv.el. Darrell Kindred: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of unix/internet sockets. Allow the gnudoit request to be read from stdin if it's not specified on the command line. Internet sockets are not opened unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet socket accepting local connections is not opened by default because this would make it possibly to override all security on the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now try to open a unix socket by default if support for them was compiled in. Mods to each of the .c files and to gnuserv.el. Arup Mukherjee: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of sysv ipc. Added support for the "gnuserv-frame" variable allowing you to specify control whether or not new screens are created in response to each gnuclient request. Made a number of other bugfixes and changes to the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to reflect the new gnuserv features. On HPs, stopped the "-r" parameter (in gnuclient) from defaulting to /net/<remotehost>. Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug when things stop working. Changed the man page to reflect this. Mods to each of the .c files, gnuserv.el and gnuserv.1 More recently - added Xauth(1X11)-style authentication to gnuserv (as of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a prototype implementation from which I borrowed the basic mechanism for hooking Xauth into gnuserv. Ben Wing: Added gnuattach.
