pinemerge: An object design example

One of our professors was on sabbatical in another country for a time. He uses the Pine mailer to manage his electronic mail. When he returned, he had two different Pine address book files and needed to merge them, so I wrote a small program to do this.

The pinemerge program is a good small case study in object-oriented design; it has only two object classes.

• See the documentation [PostScript] [PDF] for documentation for both the operation and internal structure of the program.
• See also the Python source for the program.
