Subject: Spruce (PINE for X) ?

Hi,

I happen to see screenshots of Spruce (PINE for X-windows), which looks 
really impressive. Does it run on Linux/XFree86 ? If so, where can I get 
the binaries ? [I couldn't find it in /pine on cac.washington.edu]

I would appreciate any pointer.

SPRUCE is not a product of the Pine team.  You can get information from
[email-masked] or

Hi, me again,

This time it is for real. I compiled Pine version 3.90 without any
problems on a SparcStation running SunOS 4.1.3.
I have used it for the past 2 hours or so and immediately made great use 
of the new customized header feature for someone else who really, really 
needed this.

BTW The Pine team didn't mention much about the new setup/configure 
screen, but with all the options there with context sensitive help it is 
a very good improvement.

Next thing I am going to test is the improved MIME compatibility using 
the 'mailcap' file.

The Pine team did a great job! Since they reserved version number 4.0
for compatibility release with IMAP 4, they could not go higher than that. 
But as far as I am concerned they at least could have called it 3.99 or 
so. 

Thanks!!

Richard.

PS The Pine team does advice you to keep your 3.89 binary around in case
a nasty bug crops up in the new code. I went cold turkey, but you may 
prefer to be more careful.

How did you get it going ? I have spent three hours without any result. 
Typing "build lnx" (for Linux) only results in a message "can't find specfile lnx".
I could compile pico and imap individually, but no such luck with pine.

I built it under Linux with "build lnx" and had no problems at all.  Is 
the current directory in your path?  Maybe you're actually getting a 
different "build" program than the one that comes with Pine.  Try...

  ./build lnx

...instead to force it to use the "build" script located in the current 
directory. 

If this still doesn't work, I reckon you've somehow got a bad 
distribution.  Try to get a fresh copy from the archive site.

BTW, let me add my comments that that new config screen is just about the 
greatest thing since sliced bread!

I would also like to say pine 3.90 is great!  As a site supporter for
elmer (our locally improved elm)  I am further tipped to teaching
pine for new users on campus.  This brings with it problems of
those trying or changing over.

Without any .pinerc (the first time user but elm user), pine dies because the
mail directory already exists.  However if a .pinerc is copied in
prior to invoking pine a mail directory is not created for those
who haven't used anything before and of course then no mail can
be sent because mail/sent can't be created.

Have I missed something in the installation?

I am sure other sites have the problem of mail vs Mail directory.
Any comments on how to handle this?
