17 JOE (Joe's Own Editor) is a full featured terminal-based screen editor
18 which is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). JOE has
19 been around since 1988 and comes standard with many Linux distributions.
21 JOE is being maintained by its original author Joseph Allen, plus all of
22 the people who send bug reports, feature suggestions and patches to the
23 project web site. JOE is hosted by SourceForge.net and its source code is
24 controlled under Mercurial.
26 JOE is a blending of MicroPro's venerable microcomputer word processor
27 WordStar and Richard Stallman's famous LISP based text editor GNU-EMACS
28 (but it does not use code from either program): most of the basic editing
29 keys are the same as in WordStar as is the overall feel of the editor. JOE
30 also has some of the key bindings and many of the powerful features of
33 JOE is written in C and its only dependency is libc. This makes JOE very
34 easy to build (just "configure" and "make install"), making it feasible to
35 include on small systems and recovery disks. The compiled binary is about
36 300K in x86. Note that JOE can use either the termcap or terminfo terminal
37 capabilities databases (or a built-in termcap entry for ANSI
38 terminals). The choice is controlled by a "configure" option. If terminfo
39 is used, a library is required to access the database (on some systems
40 this library is ncurses, but JOE does not use curses to control the
41 terminal - it has its own code for this).
