If I recall there was discussion about this and it should still be in the archives. I believe that the maintainers of pine changed the license on it so it is no longer gpl, and thus Mandrakesoft did not include it in the d/l'd 3 disk version, no none gpl'd software is in the free download, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that is most probable reason. ML just being true to their open source philosophy. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
