Josh Sirota got the IBM PC version of JOVE running again, I think for MSC
5.1.  Also, most if not all of the ANSI C changes have been put in.  The
latest version of JOVE (but not quite official) is 4.13, available on
cs.rochester.edu by anonymous ftp, file = pub/jove.tar.4.13.Z.  Thanks,
Josh, for making the PC version work again.  Thanks, Hugh, for the ANSI C
changes, and basic code cleanup.

4.13 also is doing a little better in the documentation department.  In
other words, all the commands and variables that weren't documented are
now documented.  That should help the frustration level.  Thanks, me, for
that little tidbit.

I'm still toying with the idea of writing another JOVE from scratch, but,
GOD, there must be things other than text editors, right?

Have a nice day.
