I just started unshar'ing the jove sources from comp.sources.unix. Two of the files lack end of files (and also some text). The two files are: v14i058: Jove, an emacs variant, version 4.9, Part 02/21 v14i061: Jove, an emacs variant, version 4.9, Part 05/21 Anybody else have this problem (I checked a neighbor and he has the same problem)? -- John B.

However, all the parts that got here did unshar OK... Anyway - our site (Chicago suburbs) still needs parts 5-20. Anyone else missing these?

All the Jove files got here alright. I have a big pet peeve about the documentation though: It is virtually impossible to read. When someone posts a big object, PLEASE include complete documentation in PLAIN, ordinary ASCII text! Please! Please! Please! Include it in some other format if you wish, but be nice to people out there in Netland, who often don't have the oddball formatter you used. The net is a very varied place, people have all sorts of different systems. This is especially true for things, like Jove, that are explicitly supposed to run on lots of different machines. If you post something like a "Berkeley 4.3 BSD Kernal mode debugger" you might assume that the potential user has all the utilities that come free with the operating system, but in the general case PLEASE assume nothing!
