Heartily agree. I use Pine on three different op-systems, and choose to
use Unix op-systems over Windows most of the time.
Pine chokes on html files, requiring me to save the message as a file,
and then look at it with vi. I usually choose to ignore messages that
are html formatted.
I have Windows op-systems available to me. I just choose not to use them
unless some particular app is only available on Windows (or only reliable
on Windows, but haven't ever found that to be the case ;-) ). Of course
for gaming, the situation reverses.
Obligatory robot question: What does one have to do in order to use
both the Linux and the Win-32 variant of Interactive-C? Would I have
to pay for both copies, or is there some leniency there?
I found during the long beta test that the Windows version was quite
buggy (at least for me), but the Linux (text-based) version was very
reliable. I liked the environment better for the Windows version, but
couldn't keep it running. I would like to have both options again, if
it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. It's a pain rebooting between
the different environments, so I like to have tools in both places.
