I miss Joe! I've been using Ubuntu since Ubuntu 8.04 (it was easy). When I learned more about computering, I got JOE and had fun.

It was always hard to change my hardware or make a complete new installation. because I run a small enterprise, being self-employed!

It was hard when I migrated my thunderbird mail. So my project is now, restoring a 0.685GB mbox file ;-) Don't bash me for it.

Just give me back Joe's Own Editor for my today's Ubuntu :-) can you?

Joe's Own Editor

I found joe and joe-jupp in the Ubuntu Universe repository.

sudo apt-get install joe
sudo apt-get install joe-jupp

joe-editor.sourceforge.net/

I think this is what you are looking for.

Alternatives

  • I remember using jove long ago in UNIX and MSDOS. I think it was Jonathan's own version of emacs. 

    sudo apt-get install jove

Is this it (maybe you mixed up Joe and Jonathan) or are you looking for another editor?

  • If you can't find your favourite editor, maybe emacs will feel familiar enough for you. I use emacs24,

    sudo apt-get install emacs24

  • Otherwise geany is a good editor with a GUI

    sudo apt-get install geany

  • and nano is a simple text mode editor (easy to learn, but not as powerful as emacs).
