Thank you very much for the swift reply. On adding one address to a new address book in pine (i.e. when .addressbook and .addressbook.lu do not yet exist), I get these errors after saving the addition with CTRL+X: Addressbook has changed unexpectedly, need to resync... Resetting address book... These two occur one then the other, about three times. Then finally pine says: [Index file .addressbook.lu inconsistent...remove it and restart Pine] In this case, the inconsistent file is what Pine's just generated. > I think I see the problem, anyway.

Yes, my home dir is mounted in textmode: $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (textmode,noumount) I regret I don't yet have an opportunity to remount in binary mode. I hope the above is relevant all the same.
