IIRC, Pine's licensing terms impose restrictions or disallow the redistribution of modified binaries. There's a "pin396-src" package you can use to build your own binaries. I don't know why tin isn't in hamm. There's a tin package in slink you can use though. HTH, Ray -- Obsig: developing a new sig -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
