Try to beam it to a device that doesn't have Plucker installed and you will get the exact same error. When the current beam support was added I wanted to keep it simple and decided to just send the data to the PalmOS launcher app (Applications). However, when you use a filename like http://foobar.com the file that is sent to Applications is called http://foobar.com.pdb and apparently it doesn't like that format. Actually, it is not the "http://"; that is the problem, but the '.'. Rename a document to anything with a '.' in it and then try to beam it; it will fail with the unknwon format error. A document called "http://foobar"; will work, though. Still, it is probably a good idea to avoid names with ':' in them, since (in PalmOS4 and later) they will be treated as a URL that identifies the exchange library to connect with ;-) I have a local version that will handle beamed Plucker documents internally, but I will not include that in the 1.2 release. It will accept documents with an extra '.' in the name, though. Currently, it will just ignore a received document if a document with identical name already exists, but I intend to add an option for the user to either rename the current document, choose to delete it or reject the received document. I would also like to add support for receiving the documents directly to an external card. /Mike _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
