I've just made a quick hack to gdnc.m in CVS, so you can easily see what I mean. The idea is that, if your windows box is called 'WinX', you would run a gdnc server for it on your GNUstep machine by typing 'gdnc -NSHost WinX' Any applications using the display on WinX would also use the -NSHost argument, and they would use the value supplied in this to connect to the correct instance of gdnc. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
