Subject: Running two pines

We are trying to set up Pine for some external users, and would like to 
do the following:

1) Use separate pine.conf and pine.conf.fixed files for the external 
users and internal users.

2) Direct Pine to create and use the .pinerc in the user's mail 
directory, as opposed to their home directory, due to a shared home 
directory.

3) Name the mail directory Mail.${LOGNAME} to differentiate between each 
users' mail directories.

I have managed to get 2 & 3 to work for internal user with command line 
options, but getting 1 to work properly (the pine.conf.fixed is a must, 
don't want them changing certain values) is a bugger.

Any help would be appreciated. Please direct answers to my email address, 
not just the list as I am no longer on the list. TIA

The only way I can think of it to use two different executables with
different pine.conf values compiled.  You could either give the users 
different default path when they login so they find the different 
versions of pine, or simply name the versions differently and tell them
which one to use.  This would be enforceable with group permissions
if necessary.
