Comes here Mr. Craig Marker with this opinion in the "comp.mail.pine" group in  this article on 30 Dec 1994 02:00:20 GMT:

 +   I would like to know if there is a shareware GUI available out there, 
 +   that has the ability to take advantage of the features on the Internet 
 +   such as USENET, FTP, ARCHIE, GOPHER, etc...

Pine probably has the *BEST* UI ever built for E-Mail and News reading.

There are lotsa public domain s/w avail. on anon ftp sites for ftp, gopher....
depending on what kinda platform you are using which doesn't have to do
anything with Pine.

Though what would be nice is if Pine in future future releases can come up
with some kinda URL support, using "Helper Applications" theory which is 
very much in practice these days....that way I can select an URL and then
hit a Magic Key which then would launch the appropriate app. (ftp, gopher...)

Gee!! never satisfied...always want want....want...and more wants....:))
