Subject: Pine and PC-Pine 3.90 now available

This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 3.90.  This release, though perhaps not immediately obvious from
the version number, represents a notable step forward in functionality. 
Feature highlights include: 

      o  Configuration Screen
      o  Aggregate operations
      o  News posting
      o  News subscription/unsubscription.
      o  Multiple address books
      o  Multiple postponed messages
      o  A *preliminary* version of Pine's character interface
         ported to Windows-3.1/Winsock

A detailed list of additional features can be found in Pine's builtin
release notes ("R" on the Main Menu).  Even more information can be found
via: 

    o  The anonymous FTP archives at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine
    o  The World-Wide-Web page at http://www.cac.washington.edu/pine

As is sometimes the case, a hefty step forward can increase the chance of
tripping.  We are cautiously optimistic that this version is relatively
stable, but it would be a good idea to expose it to at least some rigorous
testing before unleashing it in a production environment. 

Pine version 3.90 is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.cac.washington.edu
from the file named "pine/pine.tar.Z".  Pre-compiled executables for
various flavors of UNIX can be found in the "pine/unix-bin" directory, and
zip'd copies of the DOS and Windows releases can be found in the
"pine/pcpine" directory. 

As always, our thanks to the countless people who have taken the time to
provide valuable feedback and bug reports! 

The Pine Team

There is now a patchfile for NetBSD 0.9A and 1.0A that has had
*limited* testing (eg: this is the first news posting using it).
