In Unix and PC-Pine 3.90 and higher, the PINE RELEASE NOTES (Press “R” when on the [M]AIN MENU) contain a section on Configuration, including default file names and environment variables. Almost all personal configuration can be accomplished through the SETUP CONFIGURATION SCREEN (Press “S Setup” then “C Config” when on the [M]AIN MENU. Unix Pine uses three configuration files: a system-wide defaults file, a system-wide non-overridable settings file and a personal coniguration file (.pinerc in the user’s home directory).

If, for some reason, you need to generate a blank personal configuration file, run “pine -pinerc pinerc.blank”. If you need to generate a “blank” copy of the system wide configuration files (can usually only be done by systems administrator), run “pine -conf > /usr/local/lib/pine.conf”.
