Does anybody know about placing a pine.conf file in the /usr/local/lib 
directory because in my .pine-debug? files I get: 

Debug output of the Pine program (at debug level 2).  Version 3.91
Thu Jun 22 10:09:22 1995

reading_pinerc "/usr/local/lib/pine.conf"
Open failed: No such file or directory
reading_pinerc "/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed"
Open failed: No such file or directory

and how about pine.conf.fixed, what is that all about?

				Sincerely,

This can mean several things:
 
Pine was installed from the pre-compiled binary, which looks for the 
.conf files in /usr/local/lib (as opposed to being compiled on your 
system with some other location specified).
 
And/or /user/local/lib doesn't exist on your machine.
 
And/or /usr/local/lib exists, but the .conf files aren't there.
 
Same thing happened here, where I used the pre-compiled binaries due to
too many problems trying to compile Pine 2.91 from the source code under
Solaris 2.3.  I had to create /usr/local/lib, then create the .conf files
from scratch.

pine.conf and pine.conf.fixed are both systemwide default configuration 
files.  The settings in pine.conf can be overridden by individual users 
via the "CS" command (or by manually editing .pinerc).  The settings in 
pine.conf.fixed are "fixed", i.e. they theoretically can't be overridden 
by individual users.  I say "theoretically" because some of them 
apparently _can_ be overridden under somew circumstances.
