I downloaded GNU Emacs and JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs - it runs
under MS/PC DOS) and am willing to provide source availability by mail on
IBM 360K format disks for about a month. If you want it, send

    1. A Box of 10 disks preformatted to IBM 360K format
    2. $5 to cover cost of postage and a diskette mailer

JOVE was built on vi(1), which was built on ed(1), which means that
there's AT&T proprietary code in there, which means that running it on
a machine that doesn't have a Unix license or sending it to someone
without verifying their bona fides can get you in BIG trouble.  Your
telephone will blow up, and like that.

To add to your troubles, you've announced to the world at large,
including many AT&T heavies, who you are, where you live, and how
you've been violating their trade secrets.  You have entered the shadow
of death.

Moral: better lose those JOVE disks fast!  Stick with GNU.
