restoring backups

[Beartooth Stafwright]

Before I upgraded my main machine from Fedora Core 4 to FC5, I went
through my home directory and renamed all the files starting with .pine to
Old.pine*

Then I did the upgrade (and it worked as an upgrade, btw -- no clean
install from scratch needed!) -- and had to get hold of a fresh rpm from
livna, and install pine all over again with rpm -Uvh

Now it's up and running, but of course all my old folders are stashed away
in those renamed files. Can I get them back by simply re-renaming
everything from Old.pine-crash to Old.pinerc back to what it was??

Soon, hopefully today, you will be using the remote_pinerc that
resides on titan.lserv.com and no longer use a local .pinerc
file. I suggest that you focus on setting up the remote_pinerc
and then you'll never need to worry about a local pinerc again!

Let us know how the MSZ command, which I discuss in the Ddave
thread, works.
