Dirk has a lot of sources in CVS. The things missing are the sources for plucker-build.exe stub program and the Inno Setup installer script. A new Inno Setup installer script has everything I think would have been in the original. > > Could you add something to the Plucker Desktop section in the left column > > that says it includes the "distiller/parser".

Sounds good, perhaps just call it a full Windows package or something. Perhaps list the components inside the package? Somewhat similar to Bill's OSX package. The components to install can be unchecked/checked in the installer, in ways that don't result in broken installs. There will be a component in the package for doing each task. At the moment these are: - The Plucker distiller, in Python (together with an appropriate Python setup, to have it running right away). - The Palm Plucker viewers, both normal res and high-res versions, in all the translations. - Plucker Desktop (GUI), and translations. - plucker-build.exe: A commandline only interface for the Python distiller. - Help files > Having a good, responsive mailing list full of helpful users, good > facilities to getting the source and reporting bugs has improved the > "responsibility" of the project considerably, and the users appreciate it. I agree that the mailing lists are quite well managed and filled with helpful people.
