I am a neophyte pine user, at least on pc. I am trying to set up pc-pine to be 
used under trumpet winsock over a slip dial up connection. Can anybody explain 
to me in some detail (perhaps via mail, although not necessary) what I need to 
know to set this thing up, and how to do it. Thanks.

I just set up the winsock version of pc-pine (pcpine_w.zip I believe) 
running over the Trumpet Winsock over a direct Ethernet connection, and 
it seems to work fine.  I just unzipped the files in a directory for 
pine, dragged the pine.exe from the file manager to a group in program 
manager, and ran it.  I was confused at first as to how to enter the 
INBOX name.  I ended up going into setup (in the pine menu), entering 'C' 
for Configure, and going down to the "inbox-path" entry, where I changed 
it to the path of my INBOX on the Sun machine that is our mail server.  
The only real trick is in how to specify the inbox-path.  For my setup, 
it is "{sol.ashland.edu}/usr/spool/mail/dprez".  You do need to use the 
curly braces around the name of the server, and the INBOX path needs to 
be where your INBOX really is stored on that server.  I also set up 
folder-collections in a similar fashion, my entry is 
"{sol.ashland.edu}~/mail/[]".  The rest of the entries were pretty easy 
to understand, and only a few really needed to be filled in.  Thats about 
it for the PC setup, and everything seems to work pretty well.  On the 
server, you should make sure that the IMAP server is running, or you 
won't get anything.  I hope this helps, once it is set up, it is really 
nice.

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	I am trying to get it running.  How can I tell if it is?  Since
	it is invoked on demand by inetd, it doesn't show up as a 
	process listed by 'ps -x'. Right?.
	Please expand on this subject.

	Thanks.
