JOE 3.3

Summary

Description: Joe's Own Editor
Source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

JOE is a powerful ASCII-text screen editor. It has a "mode-less" user interface which is similer to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of Micro-Pro's WordStar or Borland's "Turbo" languages will feel at home. JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features for editing programs and text.

JOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation of WordStar with many "JOE" extensions. JPICO is a close imitation of the Pine mailing system's PICO editor, but with many extensions and improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS immitation.

Changes

During selection with the mouse, the window will autoscroll when you go past the edge. Syntax files are provided: ADA, AWK, COBOL, SED, Postscript, and SQL. Improved jpico: search now looks more like real pico. Grep find: use ESC g to grep. Then use ESC space to jump to to indicated file/line.
