    Trying to run Pan Newsreader


    I've just returned to Windows (v 1809) after 20 years away, and my last experience with Windows was Win 95. I am aware that things have changed a lot since then.
    I've downloaded Pan Newsreader, decompressed it with Win zip and can see the various folders and files sitting in Documents/Pan. What I can't see is an executable file, so I can't see how to run it.
    Can anyone help me with this. It's driving me nuts!

    Hi, from which site did you download it? After a superficial search recent versions seem to be for Linux. I found old versions (2014) for Windows.

    Where Downloaded


    I downloaded Pan from Tucows as fit for Windows 10. Maybe I'll need tolook at another browser.
    Many thanks.

    A stuppid download


    I realise that I downloaded an incorrect version of Pan, one that obviously wouldn't run under Windows 10. My stupid and bad.
    Sorry for all of the wasted effort you guys put into my problem.
    It's back to the drawing board and find another Newsreader.
    Many thanks guys.
