    My apologies in advance for this lengthy posting, which I am crossposting
in English to the Czech/Slovak discussion group, when a short notice would
probably have been more than adequate...
 
    This new release of Pine is being unofficially mirrored for the benefit
of users in the Czech Republic, and in Slovakia, and in locations which are
a quick hop away when you don't want to struggle to get the program from
its original source at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine.tar.Z  or in
GNU zipped form as pine.tar.gz.
 
    Users in CZ can find most of the Pine release available from
ftp://ftp.radio.cz/mail/pine
This will include the source and binaries as found on the Washington server.
There are also parts of the IMAP archive from here and from CMU available
for people who want to make use of the IMAP capabilities of Pine.  However,
there is no guarantee that the IMAP utilities available are as up-to-date
as they are on the servers from which they were obtained.  Please be patient
if the entire release is not yet available -- the connection from here is
slow and heavily-used, which is why I make this mirror available.
 
    Users in SK may use this FTP server, or may find it easier to obtain
this release from Kosice at
ftp://ftp.tuke.sk/pub/barry.bouwsma/pine   (no, I didn't set this up.)
However, from this server, you will probably only find the source code in
gzipped form, docs, the PC-Pine versions, and gzipped Linux binaries.
 
    The original distribution is of course at ftp.cac.washington.edu, and
users are advised to turn to this server for the most authoritative versions
of Pine.  I will PGP-sign those files which I have made available, but this
should not be taken as proof that the files are authentic -- instead a
trusted user should obtain the releases from Washington and verify that the
copies I have made available have not been altered from the official copies.
My PGP public key can be found by fingering  barryb@ccsun.tuke.sk .  Note
that I have no connection with the Pine authors, and am merely providing
this mirror, as well as my dubious claim that the programs have not been
tampered with, as a courtesy for users in this part of the world who would
rather not suffer through the hideously slow (when successful) FTP transfers
one is lucky to have by day.
 
    I am also making available a binary for SGI, compiled on IRIX5.3, for
users who want to place these binaries in /usr/local/bin or some similar
appropriate place.  This will be on the radio.cz FTP site.  You will have
to wait for an inst'able release to be provided from elsewhere.  You may
probably want to get the SGI binary from elsewhere anyway to be sure that
the version you run e-mails your password to someone else and not to me.
(1/2 :-)
 
 
 
The remainder of this announcement is being posted only to pine-info, which
is available as comp.mail.pine .  However, because it will be several days
until this post is seen here via Usenet, I am making this personal announcement
available from the radio.cz FTP server as /mail/pine/zpravy .
