Path: utzoo!mnetor!uunet!husc6!mit-eddie!bbn!rochester!PT.CS.CMU.EDU!andrew.cmu.edu!rs4u+ From: rs4u+@andrew.cmu.edu (Richard Siegel) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.programmer Subject: Re: JOVE for the Macintosh/Xenix/IBM PC/UNIX Message-ID: Date: 21 Mar 88 12:57:43 GMT References: <7799@sol.ARPA> Organization: Carnegie Mellon University Lines: 34 In-Reply-To: <7799@sol.ARPA> A note on FTP from cadre.dsl.pittsburgh.edu: The files you want are not in ~ftp/pub; they're in /pub. Other than that, a summary: I FTP'ed the files over - the application, docs, and read me file are a total of about 300K; the sources (in a TAR file) are another 900K. At any rate, I built the application (sources are in LightspeedC) without any problems. Jove is as nice an implementation of Emacs as I've seen *anywhere*. The lack of filename completion is more than offset by the ability to use standard file boxes, which offer their own kind of filename completion (just type). My one gripe is that it'd be nice if opening another file split the buffer window in two to display both files.... I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for Emacs on the Mac. And it's free... --Rich =================================================================== Rich Siegel Confused Undergrad, Carnegie-Mellon University The opinions stated here do not represent the policies of Carnegie-Mellon University.
