Please don't bother Frank about pan.  Last I looked at it, Pan uses its 
own internal copy it compiles into pan statically, after having modified 
it some from the original.  And the copy pan uses is pretty old, too.  
uudeview is much more robust now, than pan's copy (tho I don't know for 
sure if they've fixed that issue).  I know as back when I actually did 
binaries (I haven't for a couple years), if pan had problems with a 
binary, I used to save the files as text, then use uudeview to decode 
them properly.  It handled decoding FAR better than pan did.
