Hi,

I just compiled pine and I need to install pine.info and pine.conf
files in the /usr/local/lib directory, but I can't find sample
pine.conf or pine.info anywhere in the 3.87 distribution hierarchy.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Otherwise,
the pine.debugX files keep getting bigger and bigger in each user's
directory....

Thank you.

You can get a default pine.conf by running "pine -conf".  The pine.info 
file is simply a text file with whatever local information you want in 
it.  I will attach a sample from one of our systems.

To my knowledge, you create pine.info yourself...

As for pine.conf, there is an option for pine to generate a fresh 
.pinerc...It's in the man pages...Then copy this to pine.conf and edit it 
to your liking...

Later...
