This looks OK. Personally, I put the slashpluck directory in the C:\Program
Files\Plucker directory, not in the Default.DB directory, but I see no
reason why this shouldn't work.

That's strange. It should instead read:
<p><a href="plucker:/Default.DB/slashpluck/1.html">Going Back To The
Past of the Internet</a>
Check your linux drive. The links on the headline page should be a
"plucker:" link, not a file: link. I wonder why it's behaving differently
on Windows?

Actually, this is what I would expect. For some reason, the URLs on the
headline page are not being generated properly. It's no surprise that the
viewer can't find them.

I don't think it's a problem with the space, or with the parser; the
generated html is bad before it ever gets to the parser. If you want to
confirm this, manually edit the headlines.html file and change all the
article linkes to look like the "plucker:" link above, then run
plucker-build again.
Can you send me directly the slashpluck.pl file you are using on Windows?
