Hello Plucker users, As per my promise last week-I have finalized the ablility to drag-n-drop links into a Palm Repository from within BrowserG!. To download it, go to:
http://browserg.mozdev.org/newfeatures.html I would like to keep the development of BrowserG! away from the traffic of Plucker, so if anyone is interested in criticing this beta release of BrowserG! for me...feel free and send msgs to the list on this page. http://browserg.mozdev.org/list.html Note, this beta runs on Windows only. My next target is to release an installation web pages for BrowserG! which works on Linux and Mac, so people can get a feel of it on these systems also. If anyone else is interested in developing a interface to Plucker in java send me an email also. I am sure I will get useful comments from some of you as always. Good day! R/ Jeet P.S: BTW, can I get someone to add a link to BrowserG! on Plucker home page so I can get some beta testers for this at a later stage.. >From: "Jeet Shahani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Plucker Development List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: BrowserG! with Plucker. >Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 18:32:00 -0500 > >Hi, > >I am looking to put up a version of BrowserG! out there, for people to try >out and see if they have any suggestions.
