ISTR pico is non-free (hence the existance of nano), well, more that
it's got a funky licence along with pine that makes distribution a pain.
I'm assuming that you've hit it due to UEA's student access machines
being about 73 million years out of date (note: maybe a slight
exaggeration ;)

I get round the problem of windows machines in a much easier way - I
don't use 'em ;) And, if I am, then I probably want to edit something
that I'm going to want elsewhere anyways - so I'll have ssh and vim open
:)
