About

This is the portable version of JOE’s Own Editor, which is currently developed at sourceforge, licenced under the GNU General Public License, Version 1, using autoconf/automake. This version has been enhanced by several functions intended for programmers or other professional users, and has a lot of bugs fixed. It is based upon an older version of joe because these behave better overall.
jupp also does come with the editor flavours known from joe, specifically, jmacs, joe, jpico, jstar, and rjoe. Not all features of jupp are available for these though (but all the bugfixes, and syntax highlighting is still enabled by default for these, while it is not auto-enabled in jupp).

Kudos to Joe H. Allen for bringing me a better WordStar™-compatible editor than Intergalactic Digital Research, DR Editor R2.00, DR DOS 5 (and its antecessor from DR DOS 3.41).

jupp is experimentally tracked at Launchpad, too. But you can still, of course, send mails to the miros-discuss mailing list and ask on IRC (in #MirBSD, for example).

Features

Basic differences between joe and jupp are:

• obviously, another flavour, jupp, similar to jstar
• UTF-8 support on non-locale-aware OSses
• tons of bug and security fixes
• tab completion fixes
• code cleanup
• compiles with -Wall -Werror (on MirBSD), and __CRAZY=Yes (MirBSD) / -Wall -Wextra, with -Werror and -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-strict-prototypes (gcc3) plus -Wno-pointer-sign (gcc4); more warning fixes in preparation
• improved options menu
• visibled spaces
• with --disable-getpwnam can be linked statically on (e)glibc
• CUA style keybindings in all flavours; -keymap cua in all flavours for which this makes sense, i.e. all except jmacs, jpico
• can be linked with e.g. dietlibc or klibc for rescue systems
• can be linked with µClibc on ARM for use on Android (by XVilka)
• relocatable Win32 build

Neat tricks:

• The notation “^X”, where X is a commercial at sign, an uppercase letter, square bracket, backslash, a(nother) caret or an underscore, means to press the Ctrl key and hold it down while hitting the second key, then release the Ctrl key again. Most key sequences in jupp use either the ^Xy (or ^X^Y or ^XY) style or the ^[. style — “^[” is Esc
• Help: ^J — navigate with Esc+. and back with Esc+, (there are several pages)
• The last reference card of the online help system contains an ascii(7) table / 8-bit character map
• Search for non-ASCII characters in jupp:
  ^Q f \ [ ^ tab \ n space - ~ ] return return
• Jump to first occurrence of word “rtn” in the files:
  jupp -mold 'ffirst,"\\<rtn\\>",rtn,"i",rtn' /etc/joe/*rc
• Open diffs but with the diff not marked as modified buffer:
  diff -up filea fileb | jupp -mold notmod -
  diff -up fileb filea | jupp -mold notmod - fileb
  Use %D/%F for filea and %f for fileb in mc
• Remove whitespace from EOL and EOF: ^K ]
• Hex Editor: ^O g
• Jump to file offset: ^Q O
• Syntax highlighting: on/off ^O h — set syntax ^O y
• xterm: hold the Shift key pressed while moving to easily select text
• Hit Esc+p to enter the bracketed paste mode (automatic if your terminal is a recent xterm-xfree86)
• Math mode now supports 0x præfix for hexadecimal numbers; Esc+# inserts the last equation, Esc+= its result
• ^Q P after ^K R jumps to the end of the just inserted file
• ^K - opens a scratch buffer (ignores modifications upon exit)
• Quickly search for CVS/git conflict markers with ^Q =
• Freedroidz IDE: install nbc, then just hit ^K F in jupp while editing a *.nxc file; it’ll compile and upload to the brick
• Presentation mode: just write the slides as plain UTF-8 text, one slide per Unix file, sequential names (e.g. zero-padded numbers), load them with “jupp *” then hit F6 to fullscreen the first one, go forward with F8 and backward with F7, and use F9 to pipe the entire file through an external command (it reuses the last one as default)

Documentation

We have a PDF manpage, HTML manpage, and you can use CVSweb to browse the source and documentation on-line.

Note that the keybindings in the manual page reflect the joe frontend, not the jupp frontend.

The jupp package description of The MirPorts Framework may aid other packagers in divining one. jupprc is available in several flavours, one for JOE 2.8 (DOS), one for JOE 3.7-2 and 4.4-1/4.6-1 (Unix), although these lack the core code patches applied in proper Jupp.

Retrieval

Direct download

You can download jupp at least from one of the following mirrors:

• http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/jupp/joe-3.1jupp41.tgz
• http://pub.allbsd.org/MirOS/dist/jupp/joe-3.1jupp41.tgz

• All official distfiles are gzsig(1)d.

Please do not forget to check the received file’s integry using both gzsig(1) and one of the hashes below:

Unpacking

Starting with jupp19, use a command like
$ tar -xzf joe-3.1jupp41.tgz # paxtar, bsdtar, GNU tar, …
$ gzip -dc joe-3.1jupp41.tgz | cpio -idm # any cpio
$ pax -r -z <joe-3.1jupp41.tgz # any POSIX® archiver
to extract the distfile. The DOS version requires similar commands, although GNU tar will not be able to extract the .cpio.gz archive. Both extract into a sub-directory jupp/ (not versioned).

Some browsers already extract the file during downloading; skip the decompression stage then.

Anonymous CVS

You can check out the sources with the following command:

$ env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d _anoncvs@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs co -PA jupp

$ env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d _anoncvs@anoncvs.mirbsd.org:/cvs co -Prjoe-2_8-msdos jupp

Installation

jupp for Unix uses GNU autotools, so a command line sequence like the following should be enough to build it:

$ CFLAGS='-O2 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing …' \
 mksh configure [--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc] --disable-dependency-tracking \
 [--disable-getpwnam] --disable-termidx
$ make
$ $SUDO make install

This works with both BSD and GNU make. The original joe 2.8 and jupp for DOS also are able to be built on MS-DOS or DR DOS, but do not use GNU autotools. I’d be interested if someone managed to do this with jupp 3.x for Unix, and if UTF-8 support and other things were working there. On Windows® you can use jupp for Unix with Cygwin or Interix/SFU/SUA.

This has been tested on: MirBSD/i386 (gcc3.4.6, pcc-20100407, SUNWcc 12.1), MirBSD/sparc, Minix 3 (i386) with cc (ACK), Debian (gcc4), Solaris 8 (gcc), Solaris 10 (SUNWcc -xO4 -xipo=2), Minix 3, …

If you want to link jupp for Unix against a nōn-standard C library such as dietlibc or klibc on Linux, use --disable-search-libs to prevent accidentally picking up (possibly shared) libraries linked against the system C library from the standard compiler/linker search path.

Use --disable-getpwnam whenever linking statically, or creating binaries for a rescue system — this omits code looking up ~foo/ to mean the user foo’s home directory, avoiding things like NSS or PAM on some OSes; on GNU libc it’s almost mandatory for static binaries.

Do specify CFLAGS — autoconf defaults to “-O2 -g” otherwise…

Binaries

These pre-compiled binaries are currently available:

• jupp 3.x for Unix:
  • JOE 3.1jupp41 for Windows® is not yet published due to lack of time.
  • JOE 3.1jupp40 for Windows® (cygwin32 stand-alone compiled; 80486; PKzip archive (can be unpacked out of the box from Windows XP onwards, or (on 16- and 32-bit systems only) with the shareware version of PKunzip for MS-DOS®); comes with its own copy of cygwin1.dll (not installed system-wide); easy installation: right-click on the INF file and select _I_nstall (this even clears up previous installations into the system directory). If you already have Cygwin, you can delete C:\PROGRA~1\jupp32\CYGWIN1.DLL. (Installation from per-user mounted network shares will not succeed on Windows 7; copy to a global location such as C:\TEMP beforehand.) You may have to acknowledge a warning for a missing digital signature. — Download and checksums:

  • Debian packages are available at The MirDebian “WTF” APT repository for etch/hardy/lenny and in Debian proper for squeeze-backports and wheezy onwards. Called jupp, these do not conflict but cooperate with an installed joe package from the distribution; the joe-jupp package contains the necessary symbolic links to use jupp’s other modes in favour of a separate joe package.

This list may change in the future. Please note that jupp 2.8 almost (some minor fixes committed in the joe-2_8-msdos CVS branch) only differs from joe 2.8 by the presence of the new mode (i.e., the jupprc file), and that the new features and bugfixes started to appear in the jupp 3.x versions only. The jupprc-for-joe-3_7 CVS branch, again, is incompatible with the others; it has limited success bringing some jupp features to upstream JOE.

• Permit hexadecimal input in math expressions (which include goto columns, lines and offsets, repeat counts, numeric options)
• Hook up GOTO “byte” offset command as ^QO, “col”umn as ^Q- and scratch (with præfix) as ^K- in jupprc
• ^KE no longer trashes buffers cloned by ^KO (therefore, ^K; does not need to split the screen before ctags(1) search any more)
• Address a clang-3.2 found bug and most scan-build warnings, though those mostly with pointless workarounds (and ignore some)
• Hook up new functionality in jupprc: ^[# inserts last math equation; ^[= its result
• Use ${SHELL:-${EXECSHELL:-/bin/sh}} for all commands using a shell, checking access to the binary with fallback to the next
• After ^KR, the current position is before the insertion, and ^QP jumps to after the insertion
• ^[p enters new bracketed paste mode in jupprc; enable xterm-xfree86 automatic paste mode in all rcs

• Add support for libbsd (Debian, fd.o)
• Unbreak SELinux support (still broken in joe-3.7 upstream! :þ)
• Fix `x## for 80‥FF in !UTF-8 mode
• Use the inverse/underlined U+FFFD for some more occurrences of undisplayable (control) characters and incomplete multibyte sequences; fix displaying these at end of line
• Ensure C0/C1 control characters are never sent to a UTF-8 terminal, even from non-UTF-8 documents
• Add built-in (minimal) jupprc file, for standalone EXEs
• Backport hex editing mode; improve it, use uppercase
• Implement `r## in UTF-8 mode (same as `x## in non-UTF-8 mode) and `u (interactive) in non-UTF-8 mode (same as `x in UTF-8 mode)

[2009-08-02] Changes for joe-3.1jupp11:

• Split into two separate lines of active development:
  • JUPP for DOS (joe 2.8 plus some jupp patches and jupprc)
  • JUPP for Unix (joe 3.1 with all jupp patches and a diverging, more featureful jupprc than joe-3.1jupp10 had)
• Use some joe 3.x features in jupprc: assume_color, guess_crlf, guess_indent, purify, smartbacks; some are disabled by default though (autoindent, smarthome, smarthome+indentfirst)
• Enable syntax highlighting by default in jupprc, by popular demand, even if I still loathe it personally, like Rob Pike
• Add language/syntax selection into jupprc, with Python settings adhering to the most common coding standards
• The termidx binary can now be disabled as a configure time option, it will not be compiled or installed; it isn't used normally anyway, especially not on modern Unix-like OSes
• The manual page symlinks are now installed automatically

[2008-08-25] Changes for joe-3.1jupp10:

• Build fixes (rcsid, symbol clashes) for Mac OSX iPhoneOS 2.0
• Make smartbacks work when autoindent is disabled

[2008-05-13] Changes for joe-3.1jupp9:

• Synchronise certain files with upstream: licence cleanup, gets rid of the advertising clause and mksh dependency in some helper files, fixes portability to e.g. Solaris
• Build fixes for AIX, gcc (thanks Adam "replaced" Hoka)
• Remove CR (DOS line endings) on ^K] as well in jupprc

[2007-02-18] Changes for joe-3.1jupp8:

• Bugfix (maybe) for backspace deleting more than it should when smart backspaces or auto-indent are off
• In UTF-8 mode, display illegal characters as reversed (inverse) underlined U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, one per octet (if these form a valid part of an invalid multibyte sequence, the first valid octets are not necessarily individually selectable)
• In UTF-8 mode, don't display the decimal ASCII value of a wide character; display the correct UCS-2 hex value (or <-2> for an invalid sequence or the 8-bit hex value of the octet for an invalid octet or invalid one-octet multibyte sequence) instead
• Upgrade to latest MirOS licence template

[2006-11-11] Changes for joe-3.1jupp7:

• Bugfix in bundled strlcat() implementation
• Bugfix (off-by-one array bounds) in from_uni()
• New option "vispace" to make spaces and tabs visible, like in Microsoft® Works®. Works best with Unicode.
• "noxon" and "baud" are now menu entries; these two and "keepup" have been moved to the top so they can be switched quickly if you're in an ssh situation
• Disable funny behaviour of keys in menus, fixes POLS
• Reduce memory usage a little
• In the options menu, if "return" is hit instead of entering a value, and it is not a string, it's handled sensitively: numbers keep their value, syntax gets unset, and encoding gets reset to the fdefault map.
• Nicely format the options menu (as columns); print values for the syntax and encoding options as well in the oversight, use ellipsis for strings which aren't displayed otherwise
• Spelling fixes in the options menu
• Honour internationalisation framework of MirOS #9-current and newer

[2006-10-18] Changes for joe-3.1jupp6:
Non-code (documentation) updates. Regenerate externally fetched files and autotools stuff.

[2004-11-11] Changes for joe-3.1jupp2:
Fix make install in mkinstalldirs for users who wish to install jupp, but where the shell is not mksh but GNU bash.

[2004-11-10] Changes for joe-3.1jupp1:
Initial creation of joe-3.1 with a jupp resource file, fixed string functions, unbreak the Tab key in search’n’replace windows; UTF-8 works on locale-less OSes such as OpenBSD; compiler warning cleanup
