Hello...

One of the users on my system has been bugging me to install jove.  I
can see the advantages since my system is only a PC with 8MB of RAM
and a shortage of disk space!  He won't touch vi, and he uses the
infamously huge emacs to write his stuff only because the keys are the
same.  Only problem is that running two copies of emacs on my system
is likely to cause a core dump or some other nasty occurrence.

He directed me to a Linux port of jove, but it won't compile on my
system because mine is FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R.  He also pointed me to a shar
archive, but that did not help much either...so is there some other
place where I can get a jove source tree that will actually compile
and run?

Thank you.
