Thank you for your message. It is very easy to build Pine, Pico and Imap
on SCO Unix: after unpacking the distribution, you only have to give
"build sco" to make all of them. The binaries will be build in the
directory "bin" under the distribution and can be installed by a simple
copy or "make install". 

If you have no TCP/IP and like to use Pine only as MUA (Mail User Agent) 
over UUCP, then do "ln -s /dev/null /dev/socksys" to fool Pine :-)

Of course UUCP and MMDF must be configured, if you need help, as for it.

You can also try ftp.celestial.com for a SCO ready binary (if you don't 
have the c-compiler to do a build).
