Subject: PC PINE <-> Pine - configuration file convertor ???

HI,

I wondering is somewhere a converter for a converting a pine
configuration file from an UNIX format to the Windows format (the
location prefix substitution)?

For example I would like to change the "/home/murphy" into a "T:\mail",
but it is not so easy using some editor because some of the elements are
related not only to the folders/directories, and some are also specially
commented (like "\/").

Is something like this exists?

Regards,
Murphy

I suggest that you copy your Unix pinerc file to your PC and then
over-ride the settings that are specific to your PC by using a
pinercex (pinerc exceptions) files. There are not that
many setting that you'll need to set in pinercex, basically the
following:

  --- begin pinercex template ---
  smtp-server=
  nntp-server=
  newsrc-path=
  inbox-path=
  postponed-folder=
  editor=
  file-directory=

  folder-collections=INHERIT,
     Local folder collections,
     Other folder and news collections that I can access from only this machine

  incoming-folders=INHERIT,
       {local.news.server/nntp}#news.comp.mail.pine,
       other incoming-folders that I can access only from this machine

  news-collections=INHERIT,
       {local.news.server/nntp}#news.[],
       other news collections that correspond to the nntp-servers in this file

  # Set this to the url-viewer you use on this machine
  # To use the default browser in MS Windows, leave this blank
  ## url-viewers=
  --- end pinercex template ---

For settings that you want to append to the pinerc setting, you
can use the INHERIT token. I go into great detail about all this
