Pine
     
        Program for Internet News & Email.  A tool for reading,
        sending, and managing electronic messages.  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 {protocol}s (e.g. {RFC 822},
        {SMTP}, {MIME}, {IMAP}, {NNTP}) and runs under {Unix} and
        {MS-DOS}.
     
        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.
        Feedback from the {University of Washington} community and a
        growing number of {Internet} sites has been encouraging.
     
        Pine's message composition editor, {Pico}, is also available
        as a separate stand-alone program.  Pico is a very simple and
        easy-to-use {text editor} offering paragraph justification,
        cut/paste, and a spelling checker.
     
        Pine features on-line help; a message index showing a message
        summary which includes the status, sender, size, date and
        subject of messages; commands to view and process messages; a
        message composer with easy-to-use editor and spelling checker;
        an address book for saving long complex addresses and personal
        distribution lists under a nickname; message attachments via
        {Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions}; {folder} management
        commands for creating, deleting, listing, or renaming message
        folders; access to remote message folders and archives via the
        {Interactive Mail Access Protocol} as defined in {RFC 1176};
        access to {Usenet} news via {NNTP} or {IMAP}.
     
        Pine, {Pico} and {UW}'s {IMAP} {server} are copyrighted but
        freely available.
     
        {Unix} Pine runs on {Ultrix}, {AIX}, {SunOS}, {SVR4} and
        {PTX}.  PC-Pine is available for {Packet Driver}, {Novell
        LWP}, {FTP PC/TCP} and {Sun} {PC/NFS}.  A {Microsoft
        Windows}/{WinSock} version is planned, as are extensions for
        off-line use.
     
        Pine was originally based on {Elm} but has evolved much since
        ("Pine Is No-longer Elm").  Pine is the work of Mike Seibel,
        Mark Crispin, Steve Hubert, Sheryl Erez, David Miller and
        Laurence Lundblade (now at Virginia Tech) at the University of
        Washington Office of Computing and Communications.
