    The alpine package does not seem to be maintained any more.  It was
    originally developed by the University of Washington but they say they
    no longer distribute it.

    The url we are using says: "Website is temporary sleeping" and they
    want the owner to upgrade to a commercial account.

    I checked Arch and they point to the same url we are using.

    I can point the book's url to one of our copies, but wonder how many
    users actually build/use it.  I am considering dropping alpine from
    the book. We do still have mutt as a text mode email client.

    Opinions?

I use 'pico' occasionally, which is part of alpine IIRC

pico is a small text editor.  Surely nano does the same thing.
