I found the following thread in October 2002's plucker-list.
I've installed the Plucker 1.2 POSIX Package, the binary
package for linux. I confess I don't see which of the various
python scripts should be used to "explode" a zlib compressed doc.

I tried using plucker-dump(Decode.py) to unpack a pdb into the
cache directory, then tried plucker-decode(PluckerDocs.py) to
uncompress the files in the cache directory, e.g.
plucker-decode -d -z cache/1
and I always get a traceback like:
Processing cache/1...
Text Document header:
number of paragraphs: 2 body size: 2 type: 0 (uncompressed text)
!!! Parsing cache/1 failed with an assertion error: Text document's
header says data size is 2 but it is 0
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/local/bin/plucker-decode", line 2055, in ?
verbose=option['d'])
File "/usr/local/bin/plucker-decode", line 1964, in
Undump_PluckerDocument
pluckerdoc.undump_record (data, verbose)
File "/usr/local/bin/plucker-decode", line 1343, in undump_record
assert data_size == len (body), \
AssertionError: Text document's header says data size is 2 but it is 0
Clearly I've not figured out which tools to use or the order in which to
use them. I'd be grateful for a pointer.
Thanks,
Bill
