- I was quite anxious when I saw the announcement for joe 1.0. After
- searching for a bit I found the sources on tsx-11:
- pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/joe.tar.Z. I downloaded the sources and
- compiled (make posix). It compiles without warning out of the box.
- So far so good.
-
- However, when I run joe it text mode, all I get is a mess on the
- screen. It seems as though joe is having trouble positioning the
- cursor for writing to the screen.
-
- Things are a bit better in X. I get the familiar joe screen, (online
- help works, etc), but the cursor keys don't work properly. Down arrow
- moves the cursor right and right arrow doesn't do anything.
-
- Some usefull info might be:
- - I am running gcc2.2.2d from HJ's gcc/lib disks
- - my termcap comes from Jim and HJ's root disk.
- - emacs and vi work just dandy in text and X
- - in text mode TERM=console, in X TERM=xterm
- - running linux 0.98pl3+
-
- What am I doing wrong?
-
-
- Also, best I can tell, it is *hardwired* into main.c that joe's lib file
- must reside in /usr/local/lib. Sigh...
-
- Something else kinda neat: try a "grep goto *.c" in the joe source
- directory. I have never seen so many before...
