+Subject: Pine patches for the IBM RT (Pine 3.93, 4.3BSD)
+
+Hi there!
+ I ported pine 3.93 to the IBM RT running AOS using the BSD port. (AOS
+is IBM's port of 4.3BSD to the RT architecture.) There were only minor
+changes that had to be made to the source to get it running under AOS, so
+I just stuck with the BSD port. (It seemed like a waste to change, since
+there was so much duplication between the BSD port and an AOS port.)
+ I wanted to send back the patches to you all to get them re-integrated
+into the main distribution so that the RT becomes a supported architecture.
+So, without further inane babble by myself, here they are. Thanks!
+
+ - Dan C.
+
+(ps- if you would like my binaries to put up for FTP, let me know and I'll
+pack them up for ya'll!)
