Hi, joe compiled nicely for Linux (you can FTP the source from world.std.com, in /src/editors/joe1.0.8.tar.Z..) and they have a Makefile for Linux.. (linux.mak) I made the following change.. if you don't like it, recompile it yourself.. ;) Linux's VCs are on (by default anyways) 9600 baud.. joe has some really annoying delays in scrolling and whatever at any speeds below 38400, so I just changed that to 9600. The joerc file is also by default in /usr/local/lib/joerc.. you can create your own .joerc in your home directory. I didn't write this (I'm way too impatient!) - the author is Joseph H.
