Newsgroups: comp.emacs,comp.sys.mac.programmer.tools,comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce Subject: Announcing JOVE version 4.16 (EMACS-like text editor) Keywords: EMACS, editor, JOVE References: <1996Apr13.021821.26744@jarvis.cs.toronto.edu> Jove (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs) is an Emacs-like editor without Lisp. It is comfortable to use, small, fast and portable. It has been available for about a dozen years, and has been included in several BSD releases. 4.16 (1996 Mar 19) is the latest released version. The previous release was 4.16beta (1994 Nov 23) and before that, 4.14.10. 4.16 has been widely ported, it features LOTS of changes, fixes, improvements. Among other things, it should compile and work out of the box on most widely used Un*x and Posix variants, including AIX, BSDI, DGUX, HP-UX, Irix, Linux, OSF/1, QNX, SCO, Solaris, SunOS, SVR4, Ultrix. Considerable work has gone into making it easier to port (functional ifdefs rather than system specific ones). It now has simple mouse support under xterms, the documentation has been re-worked. This version of Jove also works under MSDOS, Win32 (Windows NT and Windows 95) and the Macintosh with almost the same functionality as the Un*x version. The official ftp location for Jove is ftp.cs.toronto.edu:/pub/moraes/jove/ The file jove.README describes the contents of this directory. Source is provided for all platforms, as are pre-compiled versions for MSDOS, MSWin32, and the Macintosh. Jove is supported by a group of users. We can be reached by email at jovehacks@cs.toronto.edu. We welcome bug reports. We also welcome reports on porting Jove. We are even interested in suggestions for new features, but we are conservative in adopting them. Hugh Redelmeier (for Jovehacks) hugh@mimosa.com voice: +1 416 482-8253
