[comp.emacs] MacJove update

km@cadre.dsl.PITTSBURGH.EDU (Ken Mitchum) (04/02/88)

Thanks to all who responded to the query on MacJove. Because of the large
number who do not have ftp access, I have sent the binaries to comp.bin-
aries.mac. As this is a moderated group, I cannot guarantee that they will
be posted, however. The binaries have also been sent to info-mac@sumex,
and to a couple of other sites.

Thanks also to the couple of people who reported problems. I responded to
everyone who requested information. However, our mailer has problems with
some non-arpa sites.

The MacJove binary has been relinked with the newer libraries, which correct
some problems noted. The new binaries may be obtained from our site via
ftp anonymous login, in the directory /pub/jove, and are the same as those
sent to comp.binaries.mac and sumex. A description of the files in /pub/jove
is in the file "DIRECTORY_INFO". If you have Stuffit 1.20, then you
can simply grab "MacJove.sit.Hqx", which contains all the files you will
need. 

The source files have not been changed, but if you get the sources,
make certain you also get the "Readme.too" file in the /pub/jove directory,
which contains a couple of minor source code changes. In general, if you
have the LightspeedC compiler with 2.15 libraries, you are better off
getting the sources than the binaries. Not only can you customize the
program, but future updates and bug fixes may appear in the sources
before updated binaries are available.
