I'm not sure, ... When I tried sending you a message directly to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it bounced back saying this user wasn't valid.

Very cool :)...

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 :)

They're unbeamable..? Is that the case if they're installed in RAM, or
on the memory stick... or both?

heh :).. 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.

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.
