I found JPluck to be much more powerful, but less "user-friendly". For example, I was unable to get the Desktop to pluck the NYTimes, but with Jpluck it was a snap. Jpluck is *really* not that hard to use. File->Showcase provides some great examples. _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
