After the having touble on my home machine (Pentium, Win 95),
I sent up Python 2.1 and Plucker on an even older Win 95 machine,
which took ages as its a 486!
And it worked fine, if a little slow, parsing some local HTML files on the
hard disc.
Unfortunatly, the old 486 does not have a modem so I can't use it to
"Pluck" online content - and besides which it would take ages!
On the Pentium Win 95 Machine (with modem) I tried running without the
background tasks (virus checker, DirectCD, Mouse wheel, etc) and still
had the same errors:

Does this error message mean that Plucker thinks there is already a
Plucker session active?
Where is the Semaphore put? Is is a "flag file" or a registry entry?
Its possible that I started Plucker once, it crashed/was terminated, and
left the semaphore in place?

Any idea what resources? RAM, Hard disk space? Registry space?
It occured to me I have been trying to run from either D: or E: because
the C: drive is pretty full - could this be a problem?
And also Python isn't quite right:

Still like that.
Thanks,
