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.
Advanced Installer: For providing a free "for open-source" licence to their Windows Installer product for use with the Pan project. Check them out at http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ - I can personally recommend this product having used it commercially a few years ago, and now for Pan.
The Pan developers and contributors: All of those people on the mailing list who answer all of those questions and provide us will this excellent software.
All of these builds can be considered "Experimental" - Good luck :)

Significantly better language localisation thanks to Bruno for his help testing my many false starts...
Possible issue with display panes going black after heavy usage - Not sure if this is a Windows or GTK2 issue?
