Trying to find an RPM for Mandriva ('Free 2007') for version
0.14x of the Pan newsreader.

Anyone know where such a thing might be found, please?
(Have looked on Pan site)

Although I still haven't found one, I was told of a libgnet RPM for
Mandriva 2006 which - when installed - has allowed the SuSE RPM for Pan
0.14.2 to be installed under Mandriva 2007...

That version is some 3½ years old. There are many
newer versions.

The newer versions are lacking many of the options available in the older
versions. The newer ones (supposedly) take up less memory and are faster,
but (in my opinion) are lacking. I greatly prefer the 0.14.2.91 version,
due to it being more configurable, and stable.
