Ok.  Not being familiar with the DOS version of Pine (I am assuming it is
very similar in operation etc as the Unix ports of Pine) I may not be able
to offer a great deal of assistance.  However I can suggest trying the
following:

(i) Running Memmaker or Qemm to improve your memory capabilities.  I've
found that in a lot of cases DOS machines with under 590kb's of
conventional RAM free (after loading things like mouse drivers etc) will
sometimes cause problems with certain applications.
(ii) If you're running a version of DOS under 6.0...try upgrading to
version 6.0 or higher?  I've seen bugs with the older versions of DOS in
some of the new applications released...

As for your second error message I would say that is caused by the first
error message, since it cannot start up due to a lack of memory somehow or
for some reason.

Just some other information I could use to try and do what I can in helping
you...how much RAM has your computer got total, and what speed is it, and
how much hard drive space free has the machine got?

Sorry I cannot be much more help to you.  If there's anything else I can do
please let me know.  However I would like some information on how to get
Pine compiled on the SparcStation here at work...:)

I try to compile pine 3.96 on AT&T unix (MP-RAS) Rel. 3.00
The size fo pine program (binary) more than 4MB
Is that normal or not ?
I see, that another executable program (pico, etc), look normal.

Thank's for help...
