Hi Dirk,
For the Win95 / 98 Beginners; can someone just provide a few screen dumps
of going to the different modules of Plucker from Windows [ Start ] button?
Put these graphics on the Plucker web page. Show the cursor arrow thru
each process of creating a plucker database.
I don't have a screen dumper for Windows myself.
Byron
