Subject: Pine 4.33 for Windows/DOS

I am trying to use the following from the command line:

pine name@domain <c:\pine\template\one.tmp

This launches an email send OK, but the file one.tmp does not appear.

DOS will not run if the path\file is invalid, so that is OK.

Does this template have to be in a special (undocumented) format?

I have looked through the web FAQs and there is not one mention of
command line options!

pedant (8-)#

I assume all these command line options work in the previous version?

I have a DOS based database I have been keeping going for a client since
1987 and successfully resisted his attempts to get my months (probably
over the years) of programming work transferred to a flashy but much
slower web or windows environment.  I have managed to tack on similar
enhancements to keep him quiet.  This failure though is another nail in
the Arcplus coffin (8-(#
Superbly easy and fast program though, and I personally will probably
never migrate until M$ bury DOS.
