How to obtain the Pine software Pine was (and continues to be) developed by the Office of Computing & Communications, University of Washington, which supports versions of Pine for various flavors of Unix, as well as for DOS and Windows. Pine has also been adapted to other operating systems, but those versions are not directly supported by the University of Washington. _________________________________________________________________ Versions supported by the University of Washington: Pine for Unix Pine, Pico (the text editor used to compose messages in Pine), and UW's IMAP server are copyrighted, but freely available. The latest versions, including source code, of Pine and Pico for Unix can be found on the anonymous FTP host ftp.cac.washington.edu in the file /pine/pine.tar.Z. To "test drive" Pine for Unix without downloading and installing it, telnet to demo.cac.washington.edu and login as "pinedemo". Unix binaries of Pine, Pico, and IMAP are available from the anonymous FTP host ftp.cac.washington.edu in the directories /pine/unix-bin or /pine/unix-bin-compressed. IMAP software is also available from the anonymous FTP host ftp.cac.washington.edu in the directory /imap. For more information on IMAP, visit the IMAP Information Center. Pine for DOS/Microsoft Windows PC-Pine for DOS and Windows/Winsock can be downloaded from the anonymous FTP host ftp.cac.washington.edu, in the directory /pine/pcpine. _________________________________________________________________ In addition to the University of Washington's anonymous FTP host, Pine can be downloaded from several other servers around the world. See Pine: Mirror sites. _________________________________________________________________ The Pine source code can be compiled for a variety of platforms (in addition to the already compiled Unix binaries). See Pine: Available ports. _________________________________________________________________ Versions not supported by the University of Washington: Pine has been adapted to several other operating systems that may be of interest to you. If you need information or assistance with any of these, please contact the individual or organization listed below.

Pine: Mirror sites To make it easier for users around the world to obtain the Pine software, without having to connect to the University of Washington's anonymous FTP server ( ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/), a number of organizations have established "mirror" sites. These sites should usually contain the latest version of Pine, as found on the U of W's server. Please contact the maintainers of the mirror site with any problems related to downloading the Pine files from there, or with the up-to-dateness of the Pine version(s) found there.
