I got the pdb file by downloading the "pl" file, renaming it to ".zip", then opening
it, to find another file inside. Extract that file, rename it to "*.zip", and open
that... inside is another file, but this time it's the pdb file. Like playing with
those little Russian dolls...
But the resulting pdb file itself isn't all that usable, for my purposes. But at least
I know how it works, now.
BTW, the recent changes to the viewer (I'm talking about 1.1.11 here) are great. There
seems to be a difference in the amount of screen overlap. Previous versions had two
lines overlap when paging between screens, but ver. 1.1.11 appears to have only one
line, which is far better. It would be nice to be able to turn the overlap off
altogether, though.
Renaming the DB Manager to "Document Library" was a case of someone reading my mind,
too. "DB Manager" sounded a bit techy :-)
Question - how hard would it be to make Plucker read PalmDoc files?
And/or (I don't know how cheeky this would be...) would it be possible to make Plucker
see iSilo or Teal Doc files (since both those formats are based on html...) Just a
thought.
