After being moaned and griped at long enough, I have finally produced a
set of patches to port the lastest released version of pine to a System 5
Release 4.0 platform.  The patches have been produced and tested on
systems from two different software suppliers, and two different hardware
platforms (Sparc and Intel iAPX386/486)

The port has shown up the following problems:
	there is a generic bug is the smtpd in SVR4.  A RSET down the line
will cause the daemon to go away.   The RSETs sent within the imap code
have been commented out in this port;
	there is a bug/feature in the SVR4 mailer, such that local
messages are not provided with a From: or Date: rfc format line.  This
prevents pine from displaying this information correctly on the index screen;
	BUG!! there is a bug in the debugging code in the screen handling
code.  There is a loop that is supposed to cycle through an array,
printing the appropriate debugging code in the pine debug files.  The
length of the array is hard coded.  If the array is not this length, the
system tends to dump core.  This has been FIXED to cycle through the array
until the element is NULL.

This set of patches, including the new os .h and .c files, comes to about
40k compressed.  If the Pine maintainers want this code ftp'ed up to cac,
I am more than willing to do this, just tell me where.

This has not been validated on SVR4.2, as our system is still not right yet.

Good luck

Ross
