Try running the pan.exe executable from the command prompt in its
directory home. I get the same error of the entry point not found. I
reported it with the 0.91 release (or around there). Recent CVS versions
of Pan did the same thing. I just concluded it was a weirdness on my
system. I ended up creating a dumb pan.bat file and launching that. The
contents are simply:

@echo off
pan.exe

I even tried playing with my shortcut and ensuring the startup directory
was set properly. The only thing that seems to work is this batch file.

I have no idea why it works but it works on my system.
