Subject: Address Book Lookup File

I have shared address books in a read only directory and have
created Lookup Files. No problem with 3.91 
but 3.92 and 3.93 says

Can't write in directory containing 'addressbook'.lu , using temp file

Why?

Pine 3.9{2,3} use a slightly different format for the lookup file.

The solution: Recreate the lookup file(!)

For those Not In The Know this is done by giving a command along the lines
of:
	pine -create_lu addressbookfilename sortmethod

where
	addressbookfilename is the name of the main (not .lu) file
	sortmethod is a keyword describing the ordering: see Pine's man
		page for a list of possibilities

Cheers,
