2.9BSD/usr/contrib/jove/README

To make jove simply type "make jove".  You should look at the file
jove_tune.h to set things up for your particular site.  Compile the
lib/findcom.c and leave the binary there.

Jove should be about this size: 52200+5410+7026 = 63636b = 0174224b on
the PDP11. The standary library stuff should not be dragged into this at
all.  The data will go up by at least 1024 bytes (2048 for the VAX) and
the I space will increase by about 3k.  The only routine that needed to
be modified was _strout in format.c.

The manual and the program for describing commands are in the directory
lib.  Everything should be up to date.  Good luck and all that stuff ...
If you have any problems, you can mail me at jpayne@bbn-unix at least
for a month.

When making changes to jove, be weary of using genbuf or linebuf.
Until there is a complete understanding of how everything works, linebuf
should NEVER be written into BEFORE a call to lsave() is made. lsave()
ensures that the disk version of the line is up to date.  (A getDOT()
will probably want to be done later).  Genbuf is a different story.  It
is a GENeral BUFfer which means that procedures can generally use it
when they want to (this is unfortunate).  Just be careful not to use
genbuf when somebody else is using is.  Lots of times it is just used
where a local array could have been used.

P.S.	Good luck! and I hope you like JOVE.
