And it is, to the point where I backed off to the 1.2 version until a fix was identified. A fair bit of what's in my Plucker document list is technical documentation I put on the Visor as an alternative to carrying around fat manuals. If I need to look at it, I'm usually in a hurry. > I did a quick hack that would format the document data only when > rendering it to screen and that increased the speed quite a lot. > The first time you access the document library there will be a > short delay when it copies the data from PlkrDocList to an internal > list; but after that it will display the documents without any > delay at all...

Thanks again, Mike, for timely and effective assistance. > /Mike ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
