Other than some quirks, it's done. Basically, it's just addressbooks and
arrow-keys in Pine. Nothing big. However, I've been delayed for personal 
reasons.

Qualcomm wanted people to write in asking for Pine? Is it going to be
shareware or something? Whenever I release mine, it'll be free and with
source, same deal as the usual Pine and PC-Pine. 

I should note that this is a port of Pine, and not PC-Pine.

	* I just remembered another qualm I have with Pine 3.91 in 
reading Usenet groups:
	I configured my setup to keep all threads together but there is 
so far no option in keeping the threads also in alphabetical order.  This 
would save some time and having to hit the D key wouldn't be as much of a 
problem if the threads were sorted alphabetically.

Any help would be appreciated.
