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.

Additonal Notes Regarding BRL Modification

	Several changes were made at the Ballistics Research
Laboratory to fix a few bugs and make JOVE more "friendly".
Fixes were made to the handling of Insert-Mode character insertion.
Some code was added based on the #define BRLUNIX which we would
appreciate being left in.  It is necessary to compile jove on
BRLUNIX.  The old "compile-it" command was renamed "make" since
it calls the UNIX make command.  The ability to create automatic
or optional backup files was added.  The query-replace-search
command will now accept "Y" for yes, and "N" for no (in addition to
' ' and DEL.  Files are now checked before writing to see if they
more than one link.  If they do, the user will be asked if he wants
to overwrite the existing file (preserve links).  The default action
is to preserve links.  A sub-shell command was also added for those
on VAXen without CSH.
