- PICO Source Code (Jan 1992)
-
- This directory contains source code to build the Pine Mail System
- composer and it's stand-alone version pico (short for PIne COmposer).
- To build, just use make -f with the Makefile specific to your system.
-
- This source was derived, in very large part, from MicroEmacs version 3.6,
- and still contains much of that source, although just about every function
- was changed in some way or another. Since pico is intended to be very
- simple and easy to use, many of the functions from MicroEmacs have been
- removed, though remnants remain.
-
- The original MicroEmacs had functions neatly separated into modules that
- corresponded to the type of function. Some of this neatness still remains,
- but to minimize OS related #ifdef's we've further separated out those
- functions and collected them into os_xxx.[ch]. It's hoped this will be an
- aid in porting. Of course, due to the great job done by everyone thats
- contributed to MicroEmacs, this is pretty much done for pico. We've only
- included source here to the systems we've tested, though.
-
- A general discussion of pine and pico, and how/why they're built is
- available in ../doc/tech-notes. Pico's man page gives a brief overview
- of it's features.
