Well
turns out I was wrong again. Finally found Mozilla cookies by accidentally
looking for something else. Despite Microsoft search couldn't find it. Suspect
it was way search showed results versus going graphically via explorer. Way
network boys have it set up in network drive buried underneath fold called slk
and there is the file cookies.txt. Was able to get JPlucker to work, login and
convert files.
With
blackberry turned off, got different error message basically telling me conduit
is in use. Ill need to play more with it and see if it puts the files in to
synch. I suspect with the conduit problem. One of two outcomes. Will work but
always require manual conversion or wont work and might affect plucker. We will
see.
I got
plucker because an emagazine uses it to distribute content. If the emag works
automatically with JPlucker and allows ability to download select articles (they
have their site programmed to create plucker files) then I will switch to
JPlucker. I'm a believer. Wow.
Apologies Wes though it wasn't plug and play.

Summary of what I found
JPlucker requires Netscape Mozilla cookies. Beats me where they are. I
did extensive searching of both local and network drives and there are no
files labeled cookies.txt. If I remember correctly that's a throwback to
Netscape 4 days. Second the only Netscape cookies I could find was
something.slk and that is program file with unreadable characters and not a
text file. Perhaps I need Mozilla itself.
Second, there is some sort of interaction between blackberry software,
plucker, and JPlucker. Interestingly when plucker installs it insists on
shutting down blackberry when it shuts down Netscape. JPlucker seems to have
worsened this by creating a busy signal for something called id=5. I
uninstalled j plucker, shut down blackberry, and reinstalled pluckier and
seems to be fine.
I
stand by original statement. Far from plug and play.

As I was afraid its far from plug and play. I cannot locate cookie
file on my XP machine. More importantly I cant locate the Netscape cookie
file. Strangely Netscape logs into that site though I never ember
accessing it via Netscape or saving login. I also cannot run it
with plucker as I got an error message about id-5 taken already. I suspect
something with conduits. Oh well.

Nice but does it interfere with plucker desktop or does it work

It's
a java based parser with some unique features. If your site
requires you to login and stores that login via cookies, Jpluck may
be able to take advantage of that. But you also need to use a
browser like Netscape or Mozilla/FireFox which store cookies in a
cookies.txt file. IE stores the cookies in a totally different
fashion that Jpluck has yet to add support for. :-/
I use
this for grabbing rss feeds with cookie support for places like
LiveJournal. No other RSS program seems to allow for
this. So this has been a godsend. It also helps that
LiveJournal supports a 'forever logged in
cookie'.

Oh, and to
answer your question, You can have both installed without
issue.

id-5? Hmm, I do know they
both have a conduit. Ok, I may retract about them running at the same
time. But then, the conduit isn't 100% necessary. I can tell you
that jpluck's conduit will take any prc's in it's install dir and install
them. Mine
is:
c:/palm/maosnw/jpluck/card
and
c:/palm/maosnw/jpluck/ram
You can
guess where each goes. ;-) If Plucker Desktop's conduit is similar,
just have Jpluck drop it's files into their install directory. But
this is a potentially lengthy discussion. If you need more detail, let
me know.
