Palm PDAs and Linux - Plucker Once upon a time, I used a small Docbook reader. It did a nice job, would read prepared docs that I would download from web site slike Memoware, Macduff.net, Gutenberg, PalmPilot Library. It worked well. It would even let me create small DOC documents too. I paid for it, got a few upgrades, and then one day went to get the latest upgrade. It was huge. They had put a huge amount of effort into providing native Microsoft Word DOC capabilities. Palm DOC does not equal MS DOC. But that's the path they took. I downgraded to the previous version and hung onto that. But I wanted to create my own Palm DOCs. One day I found Plucker, saw a mention on Slashdot and then Freshmeat. Downloaded it and never looked back. Web site - plkr.org/index.plkr. Comes with source code for the Palm app. You can compile it on Linux, and see how the cross-compiler features of GCC work. Also look through the source and dream about writing your own Palm app if you only had the time. Palm app is nice. Works really well. Looks good. Robust. Does everything I want. [NEXT]
