[comp.emacs] Has Jove been ported to MS-DOS?

Can anyone tell me whether or not Jove has been ported to MS-DOS?  I know
that there are some #ifdef's in the code for MSDOS and MSDOS is on the list
of #defines in tune.h.  Unfortunately, compiling with MSDOS defined using MSC
4.0 produces a great number of error messages.  The code seems hopelessly
naive about what needs to be done to port a major program from Unix to
MS-DOS.  Much of the code assumes that if SYSV isn't #defined, you must be
running under some V7 derivative.

Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has gotten Jove up and
running under MS-DOS.  Thanks.

There is a version of jove in the on simtel20.arpa.  The files are:

PD:<MSDOS.TEXT-EDITOR>
	JOVE.ARC.1		BINARY	123537  DF4AH
	JOVESRC.ARC.1		BINARY	147191  7A88H

I haven't taken a look at it and don't know what version was ported, or
how well it was done.
