I have a collection of HTML pages, absolutely none of which are accessible from any Internet. To view them, I simply open file://c:whatever/index.html to get to them. When I point plucker at this index.html file, I get the following text from the run
 
Rebuilding Plucker database...

Press any key to continue...
There is nothing I can determine about why this should fail, except that it seems unable to cope with an HREF which is on the same directory as the index.htm file. If this is so, it doesn't make any sense, because it violates the HTTP spec on relative paths.
 
By the way, here's the contents of index.htm:
 
<title>SF Index</title>
<h1>Science Fiction Index</h1>
<p><a HREF="Series.htm"><b>Series list</b></a>
<p><a HREF="hindex.htm"><b>Author list</b></a>
 
I see nothing here that would generate an unknown URL type. Anyone know how this can be handled properly?
