Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• PAN files come in either a utf-8 or Borland Pascal format
• Currently read_panond works for utf-8 format but not Borland Pascal
• Is there any interest in a Real48 extension to the read_panond function that is in iotools?

Describe the solution you'd like

• A function which would read the Real48 format PAN file into a python dictionary

Describe alternatives you've considered

• We could not support the Borland Pascal format

Additional context

• I don't think that there are any papers that we could reference, but there is this CASSYS implementation: https://github.com/CanadianSolar/CASSYS/blob/b5487bb4e9e77174c805d64e3c960c46d357b7e2/CASSYS%20Interface/DatabaseImportModule.vba#L4
