Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The latest update of pine in the
sipb locker eliminates the requirement to run pine-inc separately; however,
when we updated the installed version of the program we neglected to have the
documentation updated accordingly.
If you delete the line "alias pine 'pine-inc ; \pine'" from your .cshrc.mine,
after the next time you log in (or the next time you source .cshrc.mine),
things should work.
Please let us know if you run into any further difficulties.
Yours sincerely,
