Just a quick question that I lookeed up at washington.edu, but I just 
wanted to clarify it to make sure I got it right.

Unix Pine has message folders that save all the messages together into one 
file.  Now, does PC pine do the same thing so that I could simply copy 
those files onto my PC and Pine would understand them the equally?

I read a message in this group earlier today that said the Unix and PC
files are in different formats.  It said to "save" (or copy?) messages
from the Unix folder to a PC folder using built-in Pine functions.

The default formats are indeed different, but PC-Pine should be able
to _read_ a folder written in the default Berkeley Unix format.
PC-Pine can only write it's default MTX format.

Going the other way, Unix Pine can read and write PC-Pine MTX folders.
