Also check for the dependencies for the installation

Thanks a lot !
But that's nano, not pico, is that possible that i can find pico ?
And what do you mean "check for the dependencies for the installation" ?
Thanks again !

Tried even on the GNU site.Looks like nano is an alternative for pico.

The nano editor has some dependency products to be installed which is also given in the above link as "Run Time dependencies"

pico is part of pine software distribution.

HP-UX depot can be downloaded from

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Mail/pine-4.58/

Alternatively you can get source code (if you want to compile it yourself) from

http://www.washington.edu/pine/

I met another problem when i finished install Pico within Pine depot:
When I tried to run "pico" under "/usr/local/bin", it always printed out:
"Unknown terminal type hpterm!", even I have tried to set TERM to "hpterm",
"vt100".
Any good idea for that ?
Thanks a lot !

It's probably best if you compile pico yourself.

Get pine source code from the closest mirror site.

http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/mirrors.html

$ gzip -cd pine4.58.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd pine4.58
$ build hpx /* if you have HP ANSI C */
$ build ghp /* if you have gcc only */

If it all goes well you will find pico binary in pico subdirectory.
