Has anyone tried playing with the Pine kit on cac.washington.edu?

I found that the imapd daemon in that kit didn't have an easy compile
for 386BSD, *but* the imap-3.0.tar.Z complete imap kit had a BSDI BSD/386
makefile and os_dep.[ch] pair that worked fine with 386BSD.  So, now I have
a functional imapd for using Pine and Mailstrom on *other* machines, but
no Pine or Pico editor on my 386BSD system.  Building "bsd" (ie, MicroVAX
4.3 BSD) didn't work, nor did the SunOS or NeXT or Ultrix (4.2) configs.

I can get the c-client.a library built, which is a good step toward
building Pine, but it chokes bigtime on the os_unix.c stuff.

Drop me a line if you want to play with it as well.
