Subject: address book synchronization

I have a number of users who use pc pine on there workstations here on campus,
then go home and use unix pine from there, and some even have laptops with 
pc-pine.  Is there anyway to synchronize users data like the personal addressbook?

Not yet, unless you have the ability to mount your Unix home directory
as a PC drive (e.g. via NFS or SMB).

But better support for this is planned.

This implies that Unix pine and PC-Pine will be generous wrt
CR/LF and LF in address books.  Is that true.

Also would it be possible to use the same global addressbook across
systems (where they have to share the same .lu file).

Please keep us informed.

Yes.
