I found on my HD last night 3.95 for Linux. It was the binary for it and
runs great. I don't remember where I got it tho. If you're interested, I
can make it avail via anon-ftp. Let me know if you (or anyone else) wants
the binary vers. I don't have the source code.

In addition, some may find it useful to know that on slack 3.0, running
2.0.12 kernel, 3.95 will compile fine under linux. I can't speak for other
systems, but I would assume a similar situation. :)

The binary, and source, for 3.95 (linux binary, and source which compiles
fine), are on the ftp.cac.washington.edu site. :)

Yes and no! When i was using a Slackware based system it compiled out of 
the box with gcc-2.6.3. But after having switched to Debian-1.1.6 since 
almost two weeks i can't compile it no more. But this is due to the fact 
that Pine relies on termcap which is not supported by Debian no more. The
Debian source package of Pine-3.94 is modified to use ncurses instead and
compiles just fine. Being no programmer i don't feel capable of changing
the original Pine-3.95 sources to compile properly in the Debian Linux 
environment. Hopefully some kind soul will supply us with a Pine-3.95.deb
package some time. I'll be using Pine-3.94 in the meantime...

Well, you are not very informative here. What Linux are you using? What kind
of distribution, which kernel version and which compiler version?
