I'll try to redo it as soon as I can and get it as exact as I can. I totally understand how you feel. Since I have a linux using background, I usually don't mind compiling. The compiling itself isn't so difficult; the challenge is figuring out what you are missing that has to be installed when y

Hi, Cheryl, I did find your instructions, but compiling is kind of way over my head, unless I have a lot of hand-holding, so I'm apprehensive about it. I did install a php app, but the webpage literally contained the commands. I also get very confused where variables are concerned. I'm hoping

It works much better with brltty than with just vo. The problem is at this point I'm not sure how to tell you what has to be installed in order for you to be able to compile brltty on your system. I use macports and then compile and install the developer (subversion) installation of brltty but I

That is correct. If you put a .addressbook (note the period in front) in your home directory, as long as the information is in the correct format, when you open Alpine the addresses should be imported. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the c

Hi, Gena, VO is a little quirky in Alpine, but doable. It's much better after setting "show cursor" in config. Teresa Sent using Alpine messaging system in Mac OS X Terminal On Thu, 19 Dec 2013, Georgina Joyce wrote: Hello, It appears you shouldn’t need to do anything other than name the

Hello, It appears you shouldn’t need to do anything other than name the file “.addressbook” i.e. start with a period and all in lower case call it address book. By giving a filename a period sets the appropriate permissions. HTH BTW: How does VO work using alpine? Gena On 19 Dec 2013, at 21:

Thanks, Gina. I'll try that. Yes, the online help says that a specific local file name is required in the "folder" field if using a local file. I've also tried pasting the contents of the address book in an email message and using Alpine's 'take" command. However, I had to set it up as a distri

Hello, Did a different user create the file? If so, you’ll need to use the chown command. If it was the same user, you can try the chmod command. $ chmod u+r address.csv It’s been years since I used alpine, but does alpine want the file with a specific filename? HTH Gena On 19 Dec 2013, at

Hi, all, I got an app in the app store to convert my Mail contacts into a cSV file. I then put it in my home directory. when I specify it as an alternate address book in Alpine, I get an error message that permission is denied and the file is unreadable. Where can I go from here? Thanks, ter
