okey-dokey everyone.  I just grabed the sources for Joe (the editor) of
cc04.ccit.edu.tw I think.  And then I compiled as BSD under FreeBSD 2.0.  So
like everything compiled fine, with no error (or warning) messages, but when
I ran it, the screen was all funy.  Like I could make out the top, and
bottom bar, but everything was a bit outta wack.  So, since I'm this UNIX
wizard (yes, I am being very very very very sarcastic), I came to the
logical conclusion that I have no idea what's going on.  So will someody
PLEASE tell me what I scrweed up on (I imagine that the source isn't 100%
FreeBSD 2.0 compatible, and I don't have the expertise to change them). 
Also I don't think (actually I know this for a fact) that I'm the only 2.0
user who wants Joe back...I imagine there's the pre-compiled binaries flying
around somewhere out there, and I just havn't seen them.  So, in conclusion
if you (a) know what I'm doing wrong, or (b) know where I could find the
precompiled binaries, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if you dropped me
a line :) (in this newsgroup, email, a little birdy with a note tied to its
leg, anything:)....thanx a bunch in advance.

BTW:  Where's the PINE???????(ported to 2.0 I mean:)
