Off to > > hosed my system. > Does not work. Could not login, it shows "Couldn't open *-joerc." Very strange message. I know there's a .joerc in ~ (for the user) and a global /usr/local/etc/joe/rjoerc (for system-wide use). I also get this message: Couldn't open '*-joerc' Maybe this is because joe isn't a shell and doesn't set some required variables, such as $PATH or $HOME, and joe cannot find its rc files... The reason is what I see in /usr/ports/editors/joe/work/joe-3.7/main.c line 353 and above. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
