Jove has been touted lately as a public domain editor.  This is not so.
If you have the source code, take a look at "re.c", in which credit is
given to AT&T's "ed" editor for the regular expression pattern match
routines.

Jove should never have been ported to MSDOS.  Any non-Unix machine
running Jove is guilty of software piracy.
