Subject: Pine 4.32 is broken

Well it's quite obvious that someone screwed up with Pine 4.32 and didn't
even bother to compile test it, pine/helptext.c is not complete.

WTF, and the Pine-Info mailing list archive on the website is missing all
the links except for 3 months in 1996.

Interesting.  What's not there?  I must have screwed up somehow: my copy
compiled fine, and doesn't seem to be missing anything.  On the other
hand, how would I know?

Yeah.  Again, interesting.  The archives are there, but the links aren't,
and when one explicitly enters a given year.month URL, there's one link,
using the first message's subject, but pointing to the entire month's
folder.

Sorry for spouting off so quickly before really looking into the problem a
little closer, looks like I had a corrupt tarball from the FTP site which
affected pine.hlp and thus the autogenerated pine/helptext.c was
incomplete.

In other words, it didn't work for YOU.  Worked for me just fine, Solaris
2.6 using GCC and NOSSL.  You sure you're allowed near a compiler?
