Subject: Automatic generation of .lu files?

From: Matt Simmons <[email-masked]>

We use a global address book that is automagically generated every night,
but we also need a way of automagically generating the .lu file.  (or
getting pine to stop complaining about not finding the global .lu file)
Does anybody have a program to do that?

Thanks

	Yes, pine.

	Type "pine -h" and you will see the option:

	 -create_lu <abook_file> <ab_sort_type>   create .lu from script

	Seems to fit the bill....(or the Matt)  :-) :-)

Have the script (or program) that builds the global addressbook issue
the following command

	pine -create_lu addressbook order

where "addressbook" is the name (or pathname) of the global
addressbook file and "order" is one of the choices listed in the
Setup/Config screen under sort-key.
