Robert> PilRC (the PalmOS Resource compiler) does this also. This means if the plucker-desktop are included in the installer all the source need also included? I guess the most people like a small download but not interested in the source. Would it be also OK if the are only an Link to the Source in the installer included? BTW some comments from my first tests: for the "install PalmOS software" function (not yet implemented i guess). You will find the PalmOS Files always in the Subfolder "Handheld Software" together with the file Software.ini that contain the info about the files the and the language id mapping, you may wan't use this file. Or you could call the "Install.exe <Win Handle>" to do the PalmOS Install Stuff (Could be improved if you think there are something missing). It seams not a good idea to use the Channel name the user enter as the section name for the plucker.ini. Because if the user for example call the channel "Default" you overwrite the Default section. Whats about the idea to add the string "CHANNEL-" in front of the Section Name, so the Channel Named "News" will be Stored in "CHANNEL-News"? In CVS there are this file exclusionlist.txt in the plucker_desktop subdirectory. There is the same in parser\defaults\. I suggest to remove the one in plucker-desktop. There are also the plucker.ini. I suggest here also to remove this and enter the sections and keys with the descriptions in the pluckerrc.sample in the Default dir (Take care that plucker-deskop get all the files it need it its own directory are IMHO part of the Installer).
