unix/PINE Signature files

[Jim Mann <jmann@COLLEGE.ANTIOCH.EDU>]

And now for a word from your system administrator:

Let's assume you have a basic unix shell account with no menu features. To
create a signature file do this:

1. From the command prompt use a text editor (pico will give you PINE-like
windows) to create a .signature file
unix% pico .signature
2. Make a simple five line signature file.
3. Save the file as .signature, .sig, .name or whatever BUT make sure it's
a . (dot) file so it's excutable.
4. From the unix prompt edit your .pinerc
unix% pico .pinerc
5. Scroll to about line 75 and edit the line signature= to read
signature=.signature
6. Save and exit

Since your .signature file is executable you can use it with your
newsreader, or whatever.

Happy holidays.

IMHO: Get a PPP/SLIP account and use Eudora
