This might help a bit: http://www.plkr.org/a-vs-p.html > One question that keeps occurring to me is: why is it better to have a > Plucker-format parser on the Palm, and a translator on the Mac, rather > than a straight HTML parser on the Palm. Because we use the power of the desktop to create the content, not the (lesser) power of the handheld to convert HTML to Plucker format. The other benefit is that you can create Plucker content, without having a Palm at all, or having one connected to your machine at sync time. When you wish to sync, your (already prepared) content is sent to the Palm, no delays. > It would also be good to compare Plucker to iSilo, which seems to have > similar functionality (although I haven't built any iSilo PDBs yet) but > inferior compression, for a fee. Feel free to help add the bullet items to compare them. Since I am not an iSilo user, I am not familiar with it, so I'd be doing a very biased comparison. You can email me your comparison directly, if you wish, and I'll add it to the chart above. d. perldoc -qa.j | perl -lpe '($_)=m("(.*)")' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/BXi7kRQERnB1rkoRAlIlAJwP10cKz4ubROsItkFlsp1no7xscQCfWfpQ 9cuc9LSf+oOSaFEh5A1H1w8= =KUbe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
