I porte Pine 3.05 with nearly no problems- a few minor changes of sgtty
here and there.

The only gotcha is a bug in ash: Like elm, pine uses a sh command something
like (%s < %s>)& or something like that.  Take out the ( and )'s and the
bug in ash won't get 'utilized.'  The symptom will be that mail doesn't
get delievered to anyone.

I can arrange more technical information on demand.
