I am planning to go for pine program as a case study in my research. I was
able to download the software but i have problem downloading the version
which i want.
1.I want to download pine4.50 and when i clicked on that its going to the
page where i can download the software but ultimately when i downloaded
the software its showing pine4.58 which is the current version. How to
download the version which i want?
Since pine is a open source program

2. Is there proper design
documentation and architecture for pine? If so where can I get it.

3.Does pine program has proper test suites? If so where can i find them

I will appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Sunil.

You can find old source at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu in the directory 
/pine/old. Pine4.58 is sort of 4.50 with most of the bugs worked out.

No such thing exists. Pine has been developed by a very small group of 
people at the Univ. of Washington. Since it is such a small group there 
has been no need for formal design plans. We just talk to each other.

No, unfortunately it does not.
