Probably not. What makes you think it is a problem with Pan? > I use PAN to connect to Giganews and use .NZB files to locate the > files.

How curious. The only Linux program I know of called "unrar" is a command line program. It runs from the command line and doesn't have any such dialog. > but when I try to extract them they do not appear in the > target folder. It fails to extract the files for some reason.

The problem lies elsewhere -- possibly unrar is broken, possibly you have a permissions issue, possibly a PEBKAC error. > Has anyone seen this before?

What error message does unrar give when you try to extract the files? It's been three days since you asked this question, there have been a whole bunch of replies, and not a word from you. Is this a drive-by post? (Asking a question and then don't hang around for the answer.) I suppose if it is, you probably won't reply to this either. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
