Anyone have any clues as to why I can't get Jove to run under Venix? There is some sort of a problem with the keymaps in that none of the keys match up with what they are supposed to match up with. Most of the characters give me an error message stating that I only have one window, and various control characters give all sorts of weird commands. There is no way I can exit out of Jove except by rebooting the system. -- Bob Surtees (ras@skippy.UUCP) Home = 42.51'N 71.25'W Digital Equipment Corporation UUCP (...!decvax!skippy!ras) Nashua, NH DNET (SKANDA::SURTEES)

The Escape sequnces worked fine, so that I could always M-x and type commands in full, but none of the Control-characters would map correctly; C-X always acted like C-U, for instance--right to the point of giving me a C-U prompt if I waited for one. Fortunately (for me anyway ;^) my sysadmin got it up soon after I had tried--which is great as I didn't have enough room in my directory for the executable anyway. Good luck, I'd love to know what the problem is. -JimC -- batcomputer!cloos@cornell.UUCP |James H.

If you already had a keymaps.c file, but your JOVE is configured differently, and the keymaps.c file didn't get recreated by setmaps, then you will have the problems you are having. So that's the first thing I would check.
