Why does pine remove (unlink) the address book before writing back the new
entries?  Can't it just overwrite the existing file?  The reason I ask and
as mentioned in the doc, the remove destroys any special protection and
symbolic link.  I like to use the latter to distribute the address books for
some users across various workstations.
