I'm not sure, ...

Actually, a few days ago I was thinking the same thing, and added support for that in to the cvs tree. I would probably classify it as post-alpha code.. it works,.. but might still do some Bad Things (tm) to the display. (Nothing permanent, the worst that would happen is a system reset).. I've been using on my palm and havn't had it reset since I commited the code last, so it might be okay :) I've posted a test download up at.. http://www.array.org/~adamm/plucker-sony/20020308/viewer_en.prc I would advise that you delete any programs titled Plucker-sony, or Plkr-sony from your handheld before you install this.. just to be safe :) > 2.

They're unbeamable..?

I was thinking the exact same thing a few days ago. It would be a little difficult to add in a new option into the pulldown list for possible actions under the jogdial/gesture/button sections... If you check out the latest CVS version of plucker, and write up a patch to that and submit it up, I could definatly try it out on my side. > How would I go about pulling my own Sony branch?

Do this to grab the sony branch.. export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/plucker cvs login (hit enter at password prompt) cvs checkout -d plucker.sony -r sony plucker cvs logout That will dump the sony branch into the directory plucker.sony... and it should already have support for the jogdial in the library form. -- Adam McDaniel Array Networks Calgary, AB, Canada
