1. Install the latest Alpine. For details, see my blog item titled Building and Installing Alpine (Apache-Licensed Pine).


2. In a Terminal.app window, run

   xterm -e alpine &

3. In Alpine, go to Main > Setup > Config (MSC) and set this feature:

   [X]  Enable Mouse in Xterm

   Read Alpine's built-in Help about Enable Mouse in Xterm (by typing Ctrl-G or ?), but note that in Leopard you should not explicitly set the DISPLAY environment variable. Instead, it will be set automatically when xterm runs. This is one of the changes in Leopard.


4. Read the built-in Help about the following two features and decide if you would like to set them. Here are the settings that I use:

   [X]  Enable Newmail in Xterm Icon
   [ ]  Enable Newmail Short Text in Icon



5. In Alpine, go to Main > Setup > Kolor (MSK) and set
   

   Color Style
     Set    Rule Values
     ---  ----------------------
     ( )  no-color
     ( )  use-termdef
     ( )  force-ansi-8color
     ( )  force-ansi-16color
     (*)  force-xterm-256color

   After you set the color style, use the Space and - keys to navigate the SETUP COLOR screen and choose colors that you like.


6. Save your settings and quit Alpine.


7. Quit X11.


8. In a Terminal.app window, run

   xterm -e alpine &

   and check that the mouse and colors are working.


9. If you plan to run Alpine in an X11 Terminal regularly, set up an alias in your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile) that you can use to launch xalpine with the xterm settings (fonts, geometry, etc.) that you like. For example, here is the alias that I'm currently using:

   alias xal='xterm -fa DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono -fs 18 -geometry 116x32+0+0 -e alpine &'

1. Click the Blogger "Edit Html" tab.
2. From the Safari Edit menu, choose Edit in MacVim.
3. Use MacVim to edit the HTML and then use the Vim command :wq to write and quit.
4. The focus returns to the Blogger blog item text box, which now contains the text that MacVim wrote out.

:set ft=html

autocmd BufRead *.safari setfiletype html

• I can make the MarsEdit post editor window font whatever size I want; this is not the case in Flock.
• I can launch an alternate editor, such as vim, from the MarsEdit post editor.
• Assigning labels to a post is simple -- just check them off in the Options/Categories sidebar.

1. If you have not done so already, download and install the latest Xcode package from the Apple Developer Center.
   
2. Backup any Pine and Alpine files that are in /usr/local/bin. These will be replaced by Step 12 below.
   
3. Go to ftp.cac.washington.edu/alpine and get the latest alpine-x.xx.tar.bz2 (where x.xx is the version number). I prefer to get the .bz2 file because it is smaller than the .Z and .gz files.
   
4. Put this tarball in your build directory, for example in ~/Build.
   
5. Open a Terminal window.
   
6. To change to your build directory, type:

   cd ~/Build
   

   
   
7. To check the MD5 checksum of the tarball, run one of the following commands:

   /sbin/md5 /absolute/path/to/alpine-x.xx.tar.bz2
   /usr/bin/openssl md5 /absolute/path/to/alpine-x.xx.tar.bz2

   I recommend that you specify the absolute path to both the command and the tarball to ensure you are not specifying trojans. The MD5 checksum should match the MD5 checksum that is in the x.xx release announcement message in the alpine-alpha mailing list.
   
   
8. To unbzip2 and untar the tarball, type:

   tar jxvf alpine-x.xx.tar.bz2
   

   
   
9. To change to the newly created alpine-x.xx directory, type:

   cd alpine-x.xx
   

10. To read the README and the configuration help, type:

    less README
    ./configure --help |less
    

11. To build Alpine, type the following (which are discussed in the README):

    ./configure
    make
    

12. After the build is finished, type:

    sudo make install
    

    You will be prompted for your Mac OS X password.
    
    
13. To check that Alpine was built and installed correctly, type:

    man alpine
    alpine
    

    Make sure that these two commands invoke the correct version (x.xx). If these commands do not work, you probably need to add /usr/local/man to your MANPATH environment variable and /usr/local/bin to your PATH environment variable. For details, see the man page for your shell (man bash, man tcsh, etc.). To determine your shell, run finger -l.
