@ fpp:
Whoops! I forgot: the Zaurus port of TextMaker 2002 is still available (no beta, fully commercial), but SoftMaker never ported PlanMaker to the Zaurus platform (my bad).

The problem is that if you answer "no" there is no way (at least I didn't find any) to manually add or subscribe to a particular newsgroup by name :-)
If the configuration file was in standard "newsrc" format this wouldn't be a problem - it's a straightforward text file you can easily edit. But Pan's seem specific, somewhat binary, and an (admittedly quick) search of the Pan website didn't yield any info on that format.
I would say the n°1 task that would go more than halfway in making Pan a good 770 utility, is finding a way to easily make lists of subscribed newsgroups, the way we could with newsrc files. Once that huge useless list of newsgroups is eliminated, the software becomes quite usable, even zippy.
The other half would be mostly Hildon integration (full screen, taskbar icon etc.). I'm not sure the memory footprint is really such a problem apart from the full group list.
