[net.emacs] JOVE source?

  There were some posts a while back describing a public domain emacs
written by a high school student that would run on a micro called JOVE.  
Does anyone have the source or more info about it.  Thanks...

I'm using JOVE right now.  I use it for my mail and notes editor
because it comes up so much faster than CCA Emacs (faster than
vi, too).  I think that JOVE is great.  It is fast, reliable
and fairly complete (spell and compile-it, but no extension
language).

Jonathan Payne (jpayne@bbn-vax.ARPA) wrote JOVE (Jonathon's Own
Version of Emacs).  I have fairly recent code, but my documentation
is out of date.  Jpayne had received permission from Stallman to
use the ITS Emacs documentation, but it was not yet integrated
when I got my copy.  That should be done by now.

Somewhere I have a comparison of JOVE and ELLE that I sent to a friend.
I will send it to the newsgroup, if I can find it.  ELLE is an ersatz
Emacs that runs on PDP-11's, maybe even without split I&D, but it is
extrememly stripped down.  Last time we talked, jpayne thought that
JOVE would run on an 11 if you stripped out job control and shell in window.
