Howdy,

I have installed pine 3.90 onto my system now and I want to stop it from 
creating these debug files .pine-debug?, is there a switch to turn it off 
or how do I go about it?

Thanks in advance
Warwick

	Well, yes there is...and had you spent a little time reading the
help screens you may have found it....  :-)

	Try typing "pine -h" and notice all the switches that are
available.  Guess what "pine -d 0" does....

As things stand I believe you can suppress the debug files by adding "-d 
0" to your Pine command line:

	pine -d 0

Alternatively you should recompile it without the -DDEBUG option to the C 
compiler.  This will omit all debugging code from the compiled binary 
(ie, the "-d levelno" option to Pine will not have any effect)

Here I have compiled up Pine without debugging for general release, and 
recompile a version WITH debugging as/when the need arises (very rarely!).
