Pine is a special case because its license forbids the distribution of "derivative works", which means Debian cannot distribute the usual binary package. However, Debian does distribute the pine396-src and pine396-diffs packages, which contain the unmodified sources and the changes to make a Debian package. You can then compile and install it yourself. - Jim Van Zandt >Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 22:24:21 -0500 (EST) >From: Leslie Fairall >cc: blinux-list@redhat.com, recipient.list.not.shown:;@ >Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII >Resent-From: blinux-list@redhat.com >Reply-To: blinux-list@redhat.com > >I have a unix shell.
