Jerry,
The answer is "yes and no"...

In the upcoming(*) Pine 3.90 release, we intend to include an "alpha"
version of "PC-Pine for Winsock".  Note that this is not a full Windows
GUI application.  Rather, it has the same character-based User Interface
as Unix and DOS Pine. 

Unlike PC-Pine for DOS:
 o You can resize the window.
 o There is *limited* Windows cut/paste (this will be improved soon).
 o There is a Windows printer interface
 o It uses the Winsock network interface

Like PC-Pine for DOS:
 o Mouse can select commands, messages, and Composer cursor position
 o Some Unix Pine functions are not available:
	-integral spelling checker 
	-alt editor 
	-pipe command
 o Performance optimization hasn't been done yet (esp. for index sort)

(*) now shooting for approx 94.08.22
