Subject: possible to compartmentalized .pinerc info

I use pine with different .pinerc files using `pine -p pinerc.special'
and I'd like to be able to have some settings that I always use that
I set in one file, e.g., pinerc.generic, and other files where I
set different things differently depending on what I want to do, 
e.g., pinerc.special1, pinerc.special2, etc.  Is there a way to
do this?

Thanks,
Nancy

If you can do without the systemwide pine.conf file, use

	pine -P pinerc.generic -p pinerc.special

Hey, Piners.

Please note that it isn't what Dave Miller wrote but what his header 
says.  He's using Pine 3.92!

It must be close.

Doesn't necessarily follow...  This has been commented on with previous 
not-yet-released version of Pine in the same circumstances.  Just because 
they haven't *released* the next version to us lot doesn't mean they 
can't use it themselves to test it out.  (I think the phrase "Alpha 
Testing" springs to mind? ;-)

That's what I figured, which is why I said it must be getting close.

So, any idea how one becomes a Beta Tester?  I'd be willing to ring it out.

That is basically correct.  By this definition, Pine 3.92 went into Alpha
a day or so after 3.91 was released.

If you support an architecture that we don't have here at UW and have the
resources to make the necessary changes and send us patches fairly
quickly, let me know.  I'm not saying we are any where near ready to send
anything out, but it would be nice to have a list when we need it...
