RE: [h-e-w] Help: NT Emacs and the SendTo menu behaviour...

[Sprenger, Karel]

Raymond,

I am very puzzled by your statement that you couldn't get gnuserrv/gnuclient to 
work.  I have used this setup on both NT and W2K machines for ages and never 
had problems.  I even think I had it going on a Windows 95 machine once.  Could 
you mail me the details of your setup, including short cuts and associations 
(assoc and ftype output if you're working with NT or W2K)?

Cheers,
Karel

I'd guess it has nothing to do with Emacs.  Try putting this simple batch
file into SendTo and using it:

rem This is invoked SendTo.
rem
echo file1=%1.>testing.out
echo file2=%2.>>testing.out
echo file3=%3.>>testing.out
echo file4=%4.>>testing.out
echo file5=%5.>>testing.out
echo file6=%6.>>testing.out
echo file7=%7.>>testing.out
pause

The file testing.out would be created in the System or System32 directory.
On my Win2K system, the output indicates that all selected files are sent to
a single instance of the batch file.  I'm looking forward to trying this on
my Win98 & WinNT partitions at home....  I've tried something like this on
NT before and got multiple instances, IIRC.

Also, since it came up in this discussion, I'd like to mention that I tried
Karel Sprenger's method for installing GnuServe & GnuClient, but I was not
able to get it to work.

You know, this is really odd - I tried that on my Win2k machine this 
morning as an experiment, then both you and Francis have suggested it!

On the Win2k machine a single instance is created with both files loaded.
On the Win95 machine .... ditto ....
I'll try the Win98 machine this evening.
