They will *not* react kindly to this overall. No modified binary distributions are allowed (which is why pine from debian.org is only available through apt-get source -b pine (DON'T do this blindly, it won't work; you probably need to apt-get build-dep -b pine first, preferably while in /usr/src)) -- Paul Johnson Email and Instant Messenger (Jabber): [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ursine.ca/~baloo/
