I've ported jove 4.14 (the latest release) to Microport V/AT 2.4.  Works
pretty good, but I've got one small bug.  Sometimes when I delete a line the
screen isn't refreshed properly and another line disappears (it's not
deleted, it is just erased from the screen - if I make jove redraw the
screen it will show that other line okay).  I also did some cleanup to the
System V support (also, naturally, put in extra support for CCI's version of
System V).

I posted this rather than sending mail because I thought others might be
interested.  I could generate diffs for 4.14.
