Information about “JOVE 1 OF 3 (ALSO 1430, 1454)”

JOVE stands for Jonathan's Own Version of EMACS, the popular
wordprocessor for programmers, used on mainframe computers.  This PC
version has all the wordprocessing functions of its mainframe relative,
with some interactive PC niceties.

Experienced users will enjoy the convenience of using the same editor
they use with UNIX.  JOVE provides simple insertion and deletion,
multiple buffers and files, virtually unlimited file size, on-line help,
file encryption, and more.  An extensive built-in macro command language
and the complete C source code are also included for further
customization.  JOVE goes beyond EMACS, with a LISP programmers' mode,
added document functions, and operating system interaction.  On-disk
documentation is backed up by a tutorial.
