Plucker is still not popular in Japan. The biggest reason is that the parser is not fully compatible with Japanese (though the viewer works very well with Japanese). Japanese web pages use at least four encodings (JIS, SJIS, EUC, unicode) but only one is supported on Palm device, so it is necessary to convert encodings on the parser. (Similar problem will also happen with Chinese or Korean.) /* I don't think it is a good idea to support four encodings on palm device side. */
At now some people provide patch for the plucker parser. If you want to pluck Japanese sites with ther parser, you have to apply one of them to the installed parser and also all patches require external code converter (nkf, kcc, iconv, etc.) installed (one exceptions is to use kconv library for python, but it is currently too slow) It will not be an easy task for most people to get patch, get and install code converter and make all work well. I'd like to propose to include one of the patches to the parser code. There is at least one code converter (kcc) which is GPL. /* I have not succeeded to compile parser on windows, and I want someone's help to make kcc automatically installed with the parser (on Windows) . */ Matto _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
