for the full effect.  If it'd scroll the whole screen for long lines,
it'd be a nearly perfect simple editor.

 Heh, the upgrade to 'pico' is:
 
 #cd /usr/ports/editors/nano
#make install clean
#alias pico nano

I just upgraded to 4.51.  My dependencies were all messed up, so I
pkg_deleted cclient and the old pine, used pkgdb -F to fix, and then
installed the new Pine from ports.  No problems with old mail or
settings, at least that I've noticed.

(Why don't you want to use portupgrade?)

man pkg_version
man pkg_info
man pkg_delete

"pkg_version -c > file" will produce a file containing a script with the
necessary instructions. You must edit this script and then run as root.

"pkg_info -rR -x pine" will tell you what packages require and are
required by pine. Use pkg_delete and re-install.
