 Yes right :) I used emx/gcc because it's the best compiler for
porting quickly a unix application. And that's exactly what I did
without having to modify a lot of code.
 If you want to have a look a the code ask Don Loflin
<[email-masked]>, I gave him the sources. Maybe you can ftp
them there as I cannot set an FTP server myself my machine is too
unstable.

One of our user did try the windows version of pine under OS/2 (2.1?).
He reported several unusual problems.  Many, but perhaps not all, went
away when he reinstalled OS/2.  I'ld be curious to hear how wpine
works with the new OS/2

Getting pine to work under OS/2 has not been a high priority.  I'm not
even sure there is a OS/2 host that I could test on.

  As opposed to DOS ?

Have you taken a look at the UltiMail lite version included with
    the Internet connectivity pack?  I have used the full-blown
    version before, and it is pretty nice (MIME compliant).  It does
    not, however, have an ASCII interface (for dial-in, etc...) so a
    PM version of Pine with an ASCII counterpart would be nice!

There is TCP/IP for OS/2 and gcc. Pine could be the first (and
only) Mailer on OS/2 for imapd. I would be very happy with
an text-only version of Pine for OS/2.
