Subject: Re: pine-sipb wrapper
There seems a significant number of people who contact us saying "I dorked it
and ran two copies of pine at once, and now my inbox is corrupted." I am prone
to do this, usually by forgetting an xterm behind some other window, so I wrote
a short wrapper that prevents me from dorking it:
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/b/e/belmonte/arch/sun4/bin/pine
If we're installing a wrapper anyway, I wonder whether it might make sense to
place a similar check in our wrapper.
