	When you did the "ftp" did you ensure the transfer mode was
binary?  At the ftp prommpt "ftp>" issue the "bin" command before
the "get".

> What i must doing with getted files ? Where is instructions ?

	The following outline should help....

1.	Change the mode of the files to make they executable.
	chmod 555 "file-name".  (Do a "man chmod" to read about the
	chmod command).

2.	Rename the files to something you can remember.
	mv pine-bin.linux pine  for example.  (Read the man page for
	the mv command.)

3.	Move the files to someplace in your "PATH".  

	Hope that helps...

	Ed
