Subject: OS/2 Port Problems

Hello,

I have installed both 3.92 and 3.94 hoping to be able to use PINE on my
system.  However, it is very unstable here.

Both versions will retrieve the mail and allow me to read a bit of it then
PINE crashes.

After the timeout period when PINE tries to check mail again I see "INBOX
Closed, error in accessing"  or words to that effect.

Sometimes when replying I get the same error.

CTL-L simply crashes with no explaination instead of refreshing the inbox.

Reading newsgroups seems to retrieve all headers each time I open a group.  It
never seems to want to "catch-up" with articles either.

As I have seen many post using PINE from OS/2, I'd like to ask for some (lots)
of assistance getting it to run properly here.

Thanks for your time.
Gary

I am having the same problems.  I thought it was just a problem with my set-up!
Are there any gurus out there that have solved this one or is it a bug in the OS/2 port?
I am using ver 3.94.

Well, I have no problems with the OS/2 port (3.94). 
What information does the pine crash give you?

You've got all the information that it provides in the above lines.
Extremely helpful, I know.  But all that it offers.
