Er, *why*?  Are you looking for a bookmark file that you can use as an index
into individual documents?  This makes no sense to me otherwise.  I have
hundreds of Plucker docs on an expansion card.  Most of them are unrelated,
so a global index wouldn't do anything useful.

At the moment, I don't believe so.

What sort of index did you have in mind?  Frankly, this sounds like
something better done on the desktop than the PDA.  Select a group of files,
feed them to the parser with a spec defining the sort of index you wanted,
and let it create Plucker documents and an index file for same.

I wouldn't expect it any time soon, however...

IIRC, Zlib uses the same compression algorithm as gzip.  I don't believe
bzip2 is doable on a Palm device.  By default, Plucker uses compressiion
equivalent to Palm "doc" files.  If you have Zlib installed on the PDA, you
can tell the desktop to use high compression, and get gzip equivalent
results.
