Mark,

  Does this mean that the changes that you are accepting into C-client
will make Pine not work in Windows 9X when using mbx style folders?. I
believe you are trying to say that, but it is not completely clear. Your
answer is about locking, not about mbx style folders. I just want to be
sure that the answer to my question is yes. Can you confirm or deny this,
please?

Thanks. Have a nice day.

Eduardo
