Using JPluck, I usually end up with a 1.5MB file, and the resulting PDB refuses to install to my Handspring Visor Deluxe (running Palm OS 3.1). pilot-xfer under Linux gives me a "failed install" message, something I've never seen before. I know the problem isn't on the Visor's end, as I've installed 4MB dictionary files before without problems. I can install other files, ones generated by JPluck and non-plucker related PRCs and PDBs of any size without problems using pilot-xfer, so I know pilot-xfer is working fine. Does JPluck screw up on large files? Would I get better results from plain Plucker? -- Glytch
