Gary, There are ways to start emacs without using EmacsW32. I believe the -a option in emacsclient now works correctly. What are the proper exit statues you are talking about?
Matt. PS: I have also come up with a method to start emacs, register a few things like right-click edit with Emacs and org-protocol links, and then remove these registry settings to run emacs in a portable manner. I have also made this distribution a cross-platform emacs that works on my usb key on either a mac or windows machine. The sources are at https://github.com/mlf176f2/EmacsPortable.App. It is in a pre-release state. If you are interested, I can send you some binaries. I haven't been able to use EmacsW32 for awhile since I don't typically have administrator rights and can't install InnoSetup files. I found out I could extract them after I built my solution. -----Original Message----- From: help-emacs-windows-bounces+matt.fidler=alconlabs....@gnu.org [mailto: help-emacs-windows-bounces+matt.fidler=alconlabs....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Gary Oberbrunner Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 1:54 PM To: Lennart Borgman Cc: help-emacs-windows@gnu.org; Adam Golding Subject: Re: [h-e-w] EMACSW32 and Windows 7 Win+Arrow Shortcuts ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lennart Borgman" <lennart.borg...@gmail.com> > Unfortunately it will probably be a long time until I can merge > again. > There are a lot of things I am dependent on in EmacsW32 (escpecially > for org-mode). Hi Lennart; long-time EmacsW32 user here, as well as org-mode (mostly for doc writing). Last year though I switched back to the GNU builds to get on the latest Emacs versions. The only thing I really miss from EmacsW32 is the improvements in emacsclient, to auto-start emacs if it's not already running, and how it returns proper exit statuses. What else is in EmacsW32 that you're thinking about that helps with org-mode? -- Gary Oberbrunner
