Pine 3.95 fixes many of the nasty bugs in 3.91, plus it's had a good 2x or 3x speed increase and now you have progress bars and 'I'm working' type messages so you know that your telnet connection hasn't gone on vacation, it's just Pine working in the background. 3.95 will compile file if you specify the 'netbsd' target. The mouse stuff will complain but it doesn't work too well anyway -- you would be the better to disable it. This box is actually using 3.94 without any major problems, and our master mail server is on 3.95 with likewise, no probs to report.
