Subject: Installing Pine in my account

I've been using pine for a few years now, but I've recently gotten an
account on a machine where pine is not installed.  I've spoken with the
system manager but I don't think I can talk him into installing pine. 

I'm interested in installing pine in my own account if it's not too
awfully large (pico is already available on the system).  The machine is
running SunOS Release 4.1.3.

I'm fairly new to UNIX and don't know exactly what I need to do to install
Pine in my account.  I've found the source code and binaries using Gopher
but don't know exactly which files I need, how to install them, etc.  I'd
greatly appreciate it if someone would be willing to walk me through this
installation, or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks muchly--

Assuming you are on a SPARC-based machine, all you should need is the pine
binary for SunOS.  Download it, call it "pine", mark it executable (chmod +x
pine), and you should be ready to go...
