comp.unix.xenix, and comp.unix.microport.)
JOVE now runs on the Macintosh and under XENIX. You can get the full
distribution from cs.rochester.edu via anonymous ftp by snarfing the file
public/jove.tar.4.9.
JOVE will be posted to comp.sources.unix some time very soon...
You can also get the full source and IBM PC binaries. The following is
from Karl Gegenfurtner (karl@hipl.psych.nyu.edu), who did the PC version.
Here's the current state on how to get IBM binaries, etc.:
FTP: from hipl.psych.nyu.edu (128.122.132.2)
In the directory pub there's a README file with the latest info.
The relevant files are in jove*.arc. The Unix version is a
compressed tar-file jove-4.9.tar.Z.
from simtel20.arpa
Jove is in the directory PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR> as JOVE*.ARC.
BITNET: Bitnet users can access simtel20 archives via a Listserver. If
you need more info on that, mail me a note and I'll send you detailed
instructions.
USENET: This is a little problem. There are several possibilities. If you
have the Microsoft C Compiler V. 5.0, you can get the sources from
an archive site (once they are posted in comp.sources.unix) and
compile. If you only have Turbo C, brianc@cognos.uucp has diffs to
get Jove compiled under Turbo C. If you don't have any chance to
compile the sources, send me a note. If sufficiently many people are
interested, I can post the executable to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, if
there aren't enough requests, I can send the executable by email.
Ken Mitchum (km@cadre.dsl.pittsburgh.edu) did the macintosh version. He
says you can get the Macintosh binary (and the rest of the distribution)
from
cadre.dsl.pittsburgh.edu
The following files are in ~ftp/pub/jove/ on that system:
MacJove.Hqx binary
cmds.doc for people without sources
Readme.mac
The macintosh binary will also be posted to <info-mac> at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu and will be archived there within the next 2-3
weeks. We're not sure about comp.binaries.mac ...
With any luck a VMS version will be available in a few weeks. The diffs
for porting JOVE to Microport System V/AT should be incorporated into the
next version, as well.
You can send bug reports to any of us.
