Subject: multiple users on pcpine in Windows '95?

Hey!

	I have tried to no avail to get pcpine to use PINERC and SIG files
from any directory other than the one containing the pine.exe file.  I have
set "use current directory" and put pine.exe in my MS-DOS PATH.  I have also
tried different "shortcut" configurations.  The only way I can get pcpine to
support multiple users' configurations has been to put a separate copy of
pine.exe in each user's directory (e.g.  c:\ppp16\pcpine\jasafir\pine.exe)
which is s tremendous waste of space.  I tried putting a lnk file called
pine.exe in the users' directories, but that still doesn't work.  I don't
think the VFAT file system has true unix-style symbolic links.  Is there any
known work-around for this?  Thanks...
