Hi David, I like the website idea to be able to create a .pdb file from the plkr.org website. This led me to think, will anyone then download the parser on there desktops-probably not. The only arguments I can think off is 1)if I have downloaded the html pages on my computer and want to convert them into a plucker format. Ofcourse if Plucker had rtf and pdf support (not sure if it does or doesn't) then a lot more people would use it in this downloadable format. 2)If the website is busy all the time or not easy to use. :-)
Would there be an API to support HTTP Post and Get to be able to automatically download/upload these configuration files and pdb files from the desktop by press of a button? Could this be a new model with plucker disappearing in its current state? I wasn't expecting such a drastic change, hence the random thoughts..:-) R/ Jeet >From: "David A.
