I have never used that port myself, but there's PC-Alpine worth considering, which I believe uses native Windows networking services and also has a classic touch to it. Compilation instructions are here: <http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/alpine-info/build/oldwindows.html>, or check: <http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.24.zip> or: <http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.24_32bits.zip> for 64-bit and 32-bit x86 binaries respectively (checksums are published at <http://alpine.x10host.com/>). Naturally it handles both e-mail and news, and you can cross-post if you feel like. FWIW, Maciej
