Hello,

I've recently been attempting to port some UNIX software over to MSDOS
using the djgpp environment, which I must say is excellent. I do however
miss my favorite UNIX editor joe. I guess I could use emacs, but I really
do prefer joe.

Has anyone managed to port this editor over to djgpp? The latest version 
does include an MSDOS port, but it would appear to be for a real mode
compiler - the MSDOS specific code uses direct screen and register access.

I tried compiling it as for UNIX (ie setting -U__MSDOS__) and with a few
changes it compiled clean,  but only partially worked - the terminal
response was terrible, (using ANSI.SYS) and the program crashed with
a segmentation violation on exit.

I would be very grateful if someone has managed to do this, and could point me in the right direction, or even give me some tips for changing the code.
