Move the three files in to a directory (/usr/src/pine-src) where you can get at them. Run dpkg-source -x <dsc file name> and it'll unpack and patch everything for you. Then change the the directory it just created (/usr/src/pine-src/pine-3.96L/) and type dpkg-buildpackage -B -uc. Go get yourself a soda or something. When you get back cd .. and ls *.deb. There will be 3 files, pine, pico, and pilot. You need pine if you want mail. You need pico if you want the pico editor seperately available, and pilot if you want the "file manager" seperately available from pine. dpkg -i <file.deb> will install a package for you. If you want everyting just dpkg -i *.deb and it'll ... install everyting. =>
