Joe for Windows - 4.6

JOE for Windows
JOE for Windows is a native port of Joe's Own Editor. Unlike the Cygwin version, it is written (more-or-less) directly against the Windows API and does not need a large, external compatibility layer. It is compiled with the standard Microsoft compiler and has no external dependencies. Changes were made to better integrate JOE into a Windows environment, such as a more Windows-friendly file layout and mouse support. Other additions include drag-and-drop, clipboard integration and color schemes.

What file should I download?
joewin.msi

You probably want this one. It is a Windows installer file with everything included.

joewin-x.y-src.zip

If you'd like to build JOE for Windows yourself, or just poke around the source code, this is the file you want.

joewin-x.y-pdb.zip

You probably don't want this one unless you're trying to debug a crash against the release bits. It contains the program databases (PDBs) for each module included in the release.

standalone\joe.exe

The standalone directory contains executables for each editor personality that require no external dependencies. Configuration files, syntax recognizers, and the kitchen sink are embedded into the EXE so you don't need to park 100-plus files anywhere. ZIP files? Please, who has time for that!

(The downside is that they are more difficult to customize, but not impossible -- see the documentation!)
