You can downlaod sources of the JOE editor by various ways. One of them isCVS. You have to have cvs package installed to properly access the CVSserver. CVS package can be downloaded from http://www.cvshome.org/.Downloading of joe sources via CVS can be done by issuing following command:cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@joe-editor.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/joe-editor co joe-currentTo reduce bandwidth and needless updates, the CVS repository does notcontain automatically-generated files, even when those files are normallypresent in the distribution tarballs.Therefore, if you're building from the CVS sources, you'll need to have GNUautoconf and GNU automake installed on your machine (these do the aforementioned automatic generation). These packages are available from<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/<package>/> and its mirrors (please choose oneclose to you), listed at <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.!!! Important note !!!Versions of autoconf and automake used by maintainers and confirmed to dothe right thing are:	automake version >= 1.8.4	autoconf version >= 2.59Failing to use above mentioned version may cause malfunction of buildingsystem or even malfunction of joe itself.In case you aren't used to running autoconf manually to generate thenecessary configure script, here are necessary steps:	cd directory_with_sources	./autojoeNow you can build joe as you are used to with the downloaded .tar.gzpackage, ie.:	./configure	make	make install
