Subject: Eudora and Pine

I've recently found while surfing (the net) for software a program that 
proposes to allow me to use Eudora-like fuctions on my Mac at home 
(pull-dowm menus, etc).  Apparently, I have to install this piece of beta 
software in my UNIX account at school, which I don't want to do blindly.  
The software claims it can be used by people like me who don't have 
access to TCP software on some accessible server.  

It'd be great to have a more Mac-like program on my UNIX-based 
modem-propelled system.  

Not knowing the name of this software (and unsure about how to download), 
I'm interested to know if

1) I am the only one in this position, of having to use PINE (which is 
OK) on a Mac (which means I'm all set up for menus and built-in commands)

2) whether using software that "translates" UNIX to my Mac is unusual, 
risky, etc.

Thanks for reading,

and of course general distribution

I've just downloaded pine mailboxes to my mac and run eudora and it 
automatically creates the appropriate index file for it and they read 
just fine.  Try it out, certainly NO risk involved.

I know this doesn't directly answer your ? but it might help with what 
you want to do.
