That FAQ is outdated, for old-pan (0.14.x and previous). For new-pan, including the 0.132 you mention, the default is ~/.pan2, and you set and export the PAN_HOME environmental variable, pointing it at the appropriate directory. pan reads that var if set in its environment and loads the config it finds in the pointed to dir. In the servers reply, I mention using pan launcher scripts. This is actually why I use them here -- to run multiple separate instances, each with its own separate configuration and cache, setting PAN_HOME appropriately before launching pan. Here, I have three separate configs, binary, text, and testing, but obviously you can setup your configs for whatever usage you want. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
