Subject: Pine on SCO-UNIX

Hi,

  I obtained a copy of the pine binary for SCO-UNIX from 
soils.agron.iastate.edu. I then tried running it on our machine and got 
as far as the pine main menu when the core dumps and I get the message:

  "Bug in pine detected: Received abort signal"
  "Exiting pine"

  Any help in porting pine to our machine would be greatly appreciated.

  Also, forgive me for asking, but what are the files I need for setting 
up pine for our system? I first used pine less than a month ago and like 
it immensely. I am now trying to see if I can port it onto our new system 
- a box running on SCO-UNIX V386/r 3.2, but know nothing about setting up 
the system. 

 Thanks in advance,

Chris Fullinfaw

We don't yet have any direct experience with the SCO port or Pine.  I have
talked to several people who run it without difficulty, others can't get it
to work... 

There are only two configuration files for Pine, /usr/local/lib/pine.conf 
and each user's .pinerc file.  You can generate a default .pinerc file 
with "pine -conf > pine.conf" and Pine automatically creates the .pinerc 
file the first time it is run.  Both files have comments explaining each 
variable.  If you have specific questions, let us know!

Thanks for the request!
