The Zaurus viewer will run under Windows and Linux (desktop, as well as
Zaurus varieties 8^) ) but requires the QT libraries (not a problem on Linux
8^) ), if anyone wants it.

The Windows version is a lttle unstable (but only in release mode AFAIK -
could be an optimisation problem) but is probably easily fixable if anyone
wants to try (actually, if there is enough interest I'll do it myself 8^) ).

The same is true of the Zaurus but despite the fact that I didn't target the
Plucker format at first, it has become very popular on the Zaurus. The
compression and convenience of a single file, plus the speed and small
memory footprint of an eText reader vs a web browser (and we're talking
Opera on the Zaurus!) makes Plucker a far more pleasurable reading
experience.

Now if only I could fix the 60kb image and 32kb text segment problems -
actually I have, but its not a Palm compatible so won't work for Plucker
proper 8^( so it still needs work.

Cheers
Tim
