pine 3.96
aix 4.[12].x

Hello,
As you all (or some who were affected) remember 
last year there were a lot of problems with 
pine 3.9<2,3,4,5> in regards to its tty 
capabilities:  various functionalities such 
as composing or replying would result in 
recoverable (Cntrl L) or unrecoverable 
(session freeze) screen behavior  ....

Then 3.96 was released and it seems that
have fixed a lot of tty issues (at least with aix)...
But ...

I still experience freeze of screen 
when I try to get back after a "CntrlZ" .... 
The length of these "CntrlZ" are within reasonable
time range like a minuet or two ... But upon foreground-ing
pine the session is completely/permanently
hung/frozen!  And nothing usually is 
logged to ~/.pine-debug[0-9]

Is there any one of you with  aix/pine (above versions) 
still experiences these terminal-related problems?

Is there a solution .... ?
Farid

I am using PINE 3.96 at work on AIX 4.1.4 and it works exactly as it
does on my Linux machine at home. Perhaps the reason why it works for
me is because I always use it from within an 'xterm' on AIX as opposed
to the 'dtterm' (which comes with CDE) or 'aixterm'. Have you tried to
run PINE in an 'xterm' yet? If it still fails, I'd assume it is
related to a termcap/terminfo. However, if I remember correctly, I did
not make any changes to the makefiles. So the key question is I'd
guess what terminal program are you using?
