I've already tried the trial version of FireConverter / FireViewer to convert and look at the 'big images' on my Palm. FireConverter / FireViewer worked fine - it allowed me to set the scaling I required and then scroll around the big images on the Palm, and read them quite easily. I was hoping to try and do the same thing using Plucker, for two reasons : (1) I'm trying to reduce the number of different applications with different document formats on my palm. It's becomes a pain trying to find a document on the Palm when you have to remember which format its in (Doc, Plucker, Adobe, DocToGo, etc.etc.). (2) I'd like to build up some small level of expertise with Plucker, as I think it's a very powerful tool, and well worth investing some time getting to understand how it works. Unfortunately very small things can 'trip up' a beginner, and sometimes the answer is obvious to everyone but him.
BTW. Your right about the volume of messages on the list. I only get my messages about every second day so I should have said 4-5 messages every 2 days. I didn't realise it is a very low volume list.
