It was designed specifically +with novice computer users in mind, but can be tailored to accommodate the needs of "power users" as well. Pine uses Internet message protocols (e.g. RFC-822, SMTP, MIME, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs. -Besides Pine this package includes the Pico editor, the Pilot file browser -and also the IMAPv4r1 daemon and POP2/POP3 servers (these daemons are not -built by default -- please use the "imap-uw" port for this). +The guiding principles for Pine's user-interface were: careful limitation +of features, one-character mnemonic commands, always-present command +menus, immediate user feedback, and high tolerance for user mistakes. It +is intended that Pine can be learned by exploration rather than reading +manuals. -An optional set of configuration files can be put into /usr/local/etc -to set system wide defaults. Have a look at the documentation installed -in /usr/local/share/doc/pine/ for more details. - -Also included in dot.pinerc.pgp.sample are example entries needed to -add to your .pinerc to activate the pgp add on scripts pgpdecode, -pgpencode, and pgpsign. +Pine's message composition editor (Pico) and its file browser (Pilot) are +also available as separate stand-alone programs. Pico is a very simple +and easy-to-use text editor offering paragraph justification, cut/paste, +and a spelling checker. WWW: http://www.washington.edu/pine/ |
