Hi, pliska,can this pine4.10 release be built on NT?there is no
makefile.wnt or .nt
under the pine and pico directory.

If you have built pine4.10 succesefully on windows, please tell me how
to do it.

If any one here is planning to port pine4.10 to windows,tell me what are
you
trying to do,and, can I help you?

You can pick up a compiled copy which runs fine on WinNT from
ftp.cac.washington.edu
at pine/pcpine/pm410w32.zip.

My memory is faded....but I believe there is a licensing issue with regards
to the Win port of pcpine which prevents full source from being available.

I don't like the user interface pine offered, I think I can make it better and
offer APIs for other application to dynamically link to the mail utility.

If the full source code for windows is forbidden, we still can talk about it,
code it , and publish it on other sites even outside USA.

I believe the license issue had something to do with the wonderfulness of
WinNT which prompted the developers to use commercial code in the Win port.
But sure, you can talk about what you are doing.  It may even be a good idea
to disclose it now in this forum.  And you can make all the changes you
desire in the Unix version for local use.  But read the attached. Then, you
could even give the code of the Unix port to the developers and if the
consensus is that the overall populace will benefit it may even be
integrated in to the release.
