xP software is an easy-to-use, graphically enhanced interface that facilitates access to the University of Washington's PINE Messaging System, with no compromise on quality.
This software review is about xP, which provides an intuitive and high-quality graphical user interface to the University of Washington's PINE® Messaging System. The software is aimed at making PINE more user-friendly for those who prefer a simpler user interface.
The goal of xP is to keep all PINE commands intact while providing a user-friendly GUI. The project has been in development for a long time, and it all started with the developer attempting to create an X11 mailer called X-Dora. After switching to PINE, they realized how much they missed the graphical interface and decided to incorporate it into the X-Dora project.
While the developer acknowledges that they haven't been able to dedicate as much time to the project due to college classes, their main goal is to make xP resemble PINE as closely as possible while being intuitive for new users. It's important to note that this project is not intended to replace PINE. Instead, it consists of a series of patches that can be appended to the PINE distribution.
One of the best things about xP is that it offers two programs in one. If you're at a graphical console, you can run xP, and if you're at a text-only console, you can run PINE. Both programs are the same, so your mailboxes and signatures will always be consistent.
Overall, xP is an excellent choice for those who want a simple and user-friendly graphical interface for PINE. The software is perfect for new users, and it doesn't replace PINE but rather offers a helpful addition.
