I was quite anxious when I saw the announcement for joe 1.0.  After
searching for a bit I found the sources on tsx-11: 
pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/joe.tar.Z.  I downloaded the sources and 
compiled (make posix).  It compiles without warning out of the box.
So far so good.  

However, when I run joe it text mode, all I get is a mess on the
screen.  It seems as though joe is having trouble positioning the
cursor for writing to the screen.

Things are a bit better in X.  I get the familiar joe screen, (online
help works, etc), but the cursor keys don't work properly.  Down arrow
moves the cursor right and right arrow doesn't do anything.

Some usefull info might be:
  - I am running gcc2.2.2d from HJ's gcc/lib disks
  - my termcap comes from Jim and HJ's root disk.
  - emacs and vi work just dandy in text and X
  - in text mode TERM=console, in X TERM=xterm
  - running linux 0.98pl3+

What am I doing wrong?


Also, best I can tell, it is *hardwired* into main.c that joe's lib file
must reside in /usr/local/lib.  Sigh...

Something else kinda neat:  try a "grep goto *.c" in the joe source
directory.  I have never seen so many before...
