Did you get an updated libc and a few other updates as well? I installed plucker as the first package on a new system (the reason it took so long to get back on this one: my pilot host was toasted) and got 3 updated packages as well as plucker... >I've even plucked a few sites, and wow, this is a useful package for me. > >Unfortunately, no images are being displayed on my pilot.

Plucker's viewer_en.prc is incompatible with PalmOS 1, which is on both the USR pilot models (the 1000 and 5000): it throws an exception and pukes. If this is just a minor naming thing, you're beyond my help, because I DO have a USR pilot 5000 :) If you do have a Pilot, you need to get an upgrade. The USR pilots don't have a flashable OS ROM: that was added about the time of the Pilot Professional. The good news about this, however is that you'll have to get a 1 or 2MB upgrade board to do this, the bad news is that it's about $50 last time I saw... >I would like to obtain the functionality of viewing images on my pilot >and Zlib compression.
