> Are there any sites where i can download jpico from...

I ran an archie search and here's what I came up with...

ftp.cvut.cz:/pub/local/NetBSD-pmax/fragmets/jpico
isdec.vc.cvut.cz:/pub/local/NetBSD-pmax/fragmets/jpico
ftp.uoknor.edu:/mirrors/linux/redhat/devel/srpms/live/usr/bin/jpico
vcdec.cvut.cz:/pub/local/NetBSD-pmax/fragmets/jpico
ftp.uoknor.edu:/mirrors/linux/redhat/devel/srpms/live/usr/lib/joe/jpicorc

Hope this is helpful.

    Yes.  ftp://ftp.std.com/src/editors/joe2.8.tar.Z

What you are really downloading as such is the JOE editor, not jpico.
jpico is just a particular named configuration of JOE that gets built
when you compile JOE itself.  It will also produce a .jpicorc file,
which you need to put in your home directory if JOE is not being built
for all users on your system.  Even if it is, you can still put
.jpicorc in your home directory if you want to customize it any for
your personal tastes.  (Note that this assumes that you are building
JOE and jpico under some version of Un*x.)

    See my response to the original question.  You do not download
jpico.  You download JOE.  jpico is merely a particular named
configuration of JOE generated when you compile JOE with the Makefile.
