Weasel and zText are the same thing, I believe. And Plucker handling text, doc, and zText files would cover about 90% of my bases. Plucker already supports high-compression documents using Zlib, and zText is essentially PalmDOC using zlib instead of DOC's RLE form, so at least some of the infrastructure is already there. > > That was discussed a while back, too, and would apparently require a > > rather extensive rewrite of Plucker to support the idea. > > I think that was before the introduction of PPI.
