Other terminals that have a problem are ones that output >the arrow keys as "DEL letter" Or, you could always get version 4.12 of JOVE (cs.rochester.edu has it available for anon ftp) which has a new set of functions that allow creation of key-maps, which can be bound to any key. Thus, you create a keymap, bind it to ^[[, and then bind functions and/or macros to the characters in that keymap; ie bind-to-key next-line ^[[B. Remember, though, JOVE puts ansi type terminals in application mode, so that the numeric keyboard can be used for functions if you wish. Versions 4.9 and earlier only supported the arrow keys (bind-to-key ansi-codes ^[O was needed to activate this); with user defineable keymaps. Now, you need to bind you keymap to (for ansi terms) ^[[ and ^[O and then bind previous-line, next-line, forward-char & backward-char to both \^\[\[[A-D] and \^\[O[A-D] (using regular expressions). Then bind the functions you want the numeric keypad to produce to ^[O*, where * is the letter corresponding to that key, such as m for ENTER. Oh, and the functions you bind to the PF keys should also be bound to both ^[[* and ^[O*. -JimC -- James H.

Hello, I'm currently using jove release 4.9 on my microport SysV/AT system. I would like to get jove running under dos using TurboC 2.0. Anybody done this? If so, could you e-mail me the code? Laking that, can anybody recommend a good PD emacs clone for dos?

We have quite a few fans of JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version Of Emacs) 4.9
here. It works well on PC's, uVax's, etc. I wonder,
Is Jove still available in any form and is there a more recent version any
where ?

The version there has compiled executables for IBM PC but also all the source for use on other systems. Mail me if you want more information on how to get it.

Version 4.14 is available from Simtel-20: pd1:<msdos.editor>j414doc.arc (118665 bytes) pd1:<msdos.editor>j414exe.arc (141108 bytes) pd1:<msdos.editor>j414src.arc (351831 bytes) The DOS executable works very nicely. I have not tried to build V4.14 on any of the Sys V systems here at the labs. I'm still using V4.13 for which I posted patches last year. Since my contract ends Jan 31, I don't know if I'll still be here. If I am, or if I still have access to the net, I will eventually bring it up. regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.
