This page contains a (hopefully recent, but unofficial) build of the Pan NNTP Newsreader (see http://pan.rebelbase.com) packaged in a simple windows installer. The installer includes the main executable, a handful of libraries, including the spellchecker .dll files, and the localisation/language files and puts a shortcut on the desktop.
Pre-requisites:
GTK+ runtime libraries must be installed already for Pan to work at the time of publishing, these could be downloaded here: http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/
The latest report is that "gtk2-runtime-2.24.8-2011-12-03.exe" works reliably if the compatibility libs option is chosen during install. GTK Themes also seem to be working fine, and can be downloaded from the same site.
Dictionary support for "ispell" and "myspell" dictionaries is built-in using 'gtkspell' and 'enchant' for the best possible compatibility. Two sample dictionaries have been packaged (US and UK English) as examples.
Latest installers:
Version 0.135 has arrived - Thanks to Charles Kerr's, K.Haley, Petr Kovar and all other contributors for this release. See the main Pan website at http://pan.rebelbase.com for full details and change logs.
IMPORTANT: If you have an old copy of pan installed (using a .exe installer) please uninstall it prior to using one of the MSI installers.
