I've been working with a user trying to figure this out. He started
by asking me to decipher this "Bikini of the Day" site he wanted, and has
uncovered a very unusual "bug", though I hesitate to call it that yet.

        When he gathers the content, using his Windows-style home.html file
under Win98SE (file shown below), he gets his "Bikini of the Day" page, and
when the image is tapped, it zooms to show him a greyscale image, not a
color version. When I tried this using plucker-build, I get a color image
which is too large to display (Alert message is shown).

        Is there something different in the Windows parser that perhaps is
dithering down the image from color to greyscale instead of showing an alert
message? Dirk?

        The home.html file is below, and the db is compressed and attached:

<TITLE>Plucker Home Page</TITLE>
<table border="0" bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<tr><td colspan="3" bgcolor="0000FF" width="150" height="10">
<center><H1>Plucker Home</H1></center></td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="0000FF" width="10" height="140">&nbsp;</td>
<td background="FFFFFF" width="130" height="140">
<H2>Links</H2>
<A HREF="file://C:/Program Files\Plucker\weather.html" MAXDEPTH="2"
MAXWIDTH="150" MAXHEIGHT="500" BPP="8">Weather</A><P>
<a href="http://www.yourdailybikini.com"; STAYONHOST MAXDEPTH="1"
MAXWIDTH="150" ALT-MAXWIDTH="500" BPP="8">Daily</a>
</td><td bgcolor="0000FF" width="10" height="140">&nbsp;</td></tr></table>

        I told him tables weren't allowed, and he changed it, but this is
his uncorrected home.html file. Attached is also his original db, apologies
for the size (the original was 143k though, I had him cut it down and
rebuild it for this bug report).

        I also noticed that in a IIIc POSE session (I didn't have a
Handspring ROM to test with, he has a Prism), after leaving Plucker, the
icon is erased for the one I created (bikini.pdb in the attached tarball)
using his home.html file under linux (with launchable = yes in
~/.pluckerrc). I just see a title called 'bikini' under where there should
be an icon, but is a blank space. The syntax I used for this was
'plucker-build -f /tmp/bikini --alt-maxwidth=500 --alt-maxheight=500'.

        Some memory related bug taking out the icon? Just launching it and
then immediately exiting it causes this to happen. Resetting POSE seems to
cure it and the icon comes back until launched again. Weird.
