Subject: Pine on Sun systems??

Hi,

	I would like to run PINE on our SunOS 5.3 (version 4), but the
pine documentation tells me that it does not support that platform.  Is 
this true, and is there another way to get PINE up and running.  

	ALSO, I would at least like to use pico on our system, since vi
is terrible.  The docs say that pico is a stand-alone text editor.  Does
this mean I can get it by itself (without PINE)?  I did not see pico at
the ftp site.  Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I don't know what you mean by "SunOS 5.3 (version 4)", but pine 3.89
runs on Solaris 2.3 machines.  You need to make a trivial change
to pine/makefile.sol:

diff makefile.sol makefile.sol.orig
69c69
< CFLAGS= -DSV4 $(OPTIMIZE) $(PROFILE) $(DEBUG) -Dconst=
