I've had whichever pico is supplied with the latest pine working
for some time, as well.  The port is fairly straightforward,
especially with the contributed sysvr3 partial port supplied at
cac.washington.edu.  Mostly, one needs to delete all the window
resizing code and define some unknown constants.

I'm having trouble getting pine to compile and function cleanly
under SCO 3.2.[2,4], though.  I've got it to compile with only
a few errors, but the resultant executable is...somewhat 
malfunctional.

If anyone else is trying to deal with pine itself under sysvr3,
and has either accomplished anything or wants to get it working,
I'd appreciate contacts.  I might set up a mailing list if there's
sufficient interest.
