  Have you ever succeeded in getting pine working under dos without windows?
  3.96 was the last version that would do that and is still available from
  cac.washington.edu. I tried but had no luck getting that done.

Actually I use Pine 3.91 for dos, which uses less memory and seems to
crash less than 3.96. I have had it working for years as an imap mail
client. I do not miss the extra's provided by 3.96. I use shroom to
swap pine to xms memory when I drop to dos from within it. Works fine.
I also created added scripts which convert mail I download using pine into
Yarn/Soup format so I can read and process is with offline readers like
readmail or yarn.
There are a few tricks getting the pinerc file set up correct, but otherwise
I have no trouble with Pine in Dos. I do believe that the old dos pine
 versions like 3.91 or 3.96 do not have the ability to download and read
mail from a POP server. So it is only useful if your ISP has an imap
mail server, which mine does.

Later ``windowed'' version of pine could also fetch pop mail.
