[*] 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... Rich Goldschmidt {ucbvax,ihnp4,decvax,allegra} !cbosgd!rbg

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 I have fairly recent code, but my documentation is out of date.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. w underwood UUCP: fortune!wdl1!wunder ARPA: wunder@FORD-WDL1 Phone: (415) 852-4769
