I wish there was a page on the Plucker web site that had a list of urls. Maybe something like a guest book that could be updated by the users. Good idea, I'll see what I can come up with. d. ___ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 As Avantgo used to have thier file import format/file type, now that there is a desktop component, we should make a file format that can easily be created and shared. I agree, but let's be careful about that format. Many of our tools

Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Could the Plucker Desktop be taught to wake up the install directory? I'm sure it's some poke to the Registry somewhere. Perhaps the Palm CDK has some clues in there? Maybe it's a dropfile in the Install directory. d.
