Alex Pruss raised this idea on the Plucker dev list, and the short answer seemed to be "You don't want to go there..." There would be issues with memory requirements, among other things. And the current parser versions are in Python and Java. It would need to be re-written in C++. (There is a Palm version of Python called Pippy, and IBM makes a JVM for PalmOS devices, but I doubt either is up to this.) I'd be more interested in the ability (probably through plugins) for Plucker to display other things besides converted HTML. I use Plucker as an ebook reader, and would prefer to maintain just one, rather than five. (Plucker for converted HTML, PalmPDF, PalmFiction for doc/ztext/text/RTF files, Mobipocket, and eReader. Sheesh.) That was discussed a while back, too, and would apparently require a rather extensive rewrite of Plucker to support the idea. ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ Public archival of this list without permission is prohibited. http://lists.plkr.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
