Ok, so I have the code for pine 3.07 (I'd rather this then 3.85, just
BECAUSE it has less fetures-- les problems...) and I am trying to compile
it on a really low machine, A CTIX (Convergent Tech Unix) S/80 which is the
equivallent to Unisys's System/80. I can't seem to find a platform that
would be compatiable although I saw in pine-ports some that may be, but
could not find their makefile. Does anyone havve any experince with it?

We are trying to donate two of these machine to a small college to have them
starting with some email capabilites, to join the cyberspace world. 
So : any ideas? Suggestions? MATERIALS (I will ftp, if possible to get it!)

Thanks, Yigal.

My first suggestion would be to get Pine 3.85.  Even though it has more 
features, we have done _alot_ of work to make it easier to port to new 
platforms.  In 3.07 we barely had any SYSV support.  Now we have several 
SYSV variants running.  A CTIX port may still not be easy, but we are in 
a position to better help you with 3.85.

Alternatively, there is a person working on a port of Pine to the 
UnixPC (SVR2).  If you like, we can get you in contact with him.

Yigal,
We would *strongly* urge you to upgrade to Pine 3.86, which will be
released tonight or tomorrow...  3.86 has important bug fixes compared to
3.07, including improvements in MIME attachment typing that will affect
everyone who receives *your* messages with attachments, and will also
limit your ability to participate in the Internet remote printing (fax
gateway) experiment. 

Almost all of the new features in Pine 3.85/3.86 are optional and must be 
explicitly turned on.  (And some of them are even believed to be useful :)  
Finally, 3.85/3.86 is emminently more portable than 3.07, so it should
be much easier to get it running on CTIX.

Please reconsider your decision to promulgate 3.07.
