I'm kinda stupid so take what I say with a grain of salt but I think
it is either the file is not set executable or it's not in the path.
For the first do an ls -l on the file and make sure it is executable
(duh).
For the second type ./filename and see if it works then.

/debian/project/experimental
There are 3 files you need.
pine_4.05-0.diff.gz
pine_4.05-0.dsc
pine_4.05.orig.tar.gz
you then run
dpkg-source -x pine_4.05-0.dsc
then cd pine-4.05
debian/rule
Yep, it's resolved. I put the line
append="mem=128M"
at the beginning of lilo.conf and then ran lilo. After that, lilo
recognized all the memory.
Thanks for all the help!

As a new Debian user, I'd kind of like to see what Linux is doing when it
