JOVE ("Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs") is an emacs-like editor less all the overhead of the LISP engine. But for projects that don't require all the chrome of EMACS, JOVE will get the job done. It supports split screens, shell windows, process control, customizable comment formatting and other features. No syntax highlighting, colorisation or any of the other chrome. There is an 'X' version of jove included but it only works with SunTools or OpenWindows. Hopefully this will be expanded. It is not compiled in by default. If you want something more like EMACS, use EMACS.
