Re: CVS question
cvs update -d . will do subdirectories also. cvs -z3 update -d . will put medium compression on as well. Optimum commands for this are: cvs -z9 up -dP Which will add maxumum compression (probably overkill, but I'm in close proximity to the box anyway =) and deleted any purged or removed directories from the local copy. Always useful when dealing with projects with branches, such as this one. You can put these in your ~/.cvsrc file as such: checkout -A diff -u log -N update -dP /d

Plucker 1.1.13 up (was Re: CVS question)
What, so you can hear it catch fire when everyone follows this advice? Whot! My box? Catch fire? Nah... my laptop on the other hand... Incidentally, 1.1.13 is up, just slapped it up there, I'm tinkering with a slightly new format for the back-end, so you may see slight differnces over the next couple of days. In 10 minutes, we've gotten 46 downloads. Not bad for a 3:10am launch. Much more to come... I may be incommunicado for a few days though, some random things are brewing on the work front. I'm cranking through the tutorials for Plucker now, they're coming out really well. /d

Re: attributes field in paragraph header in text record?
On Tue, Sep 25, 2001, Bill Janssen wrote:
I don't understand the def of the attributes field.
When in doubt check the source code ;-)
typedef struct {
Int16 size; /* Size of text */
Int16 attributes; /* byte 0 = 0
byte 1 = Paragraph info (see above) */
} Paragraph;
The Paragraph info is the part that is described in the spec.
It says here that it takes 2 bytes, and that The first 5 bits in
the attributes are unused, the 3 LSB indicates the amount of extra
paragraph spacing (2*value pixels).
You can change it to 13 bits. I will change the struct to the following,
typedef struct {
Int16 size; /* Size of text */
Int16 attributes; /* Paragraph info (see above) */
} Paragraph;

Re: Viewer Chinese translation
On Tue, Sep 25, 2001, Danny Zeng wrote: I have updated the Simplified Chinese translation files. Except for $$SC GESTURES (should be $$SC GESTURE ACTION) I have included the changes in CVS. There's a few issue with the viewer.rcp file though. What issues? If you use the rcp file in the i18n branch with the latest changes to the language files in the main trunk then I can understand that you have some issues, though. I hope the Chinese viewer be part of 1.1.13 download. It's included and the changes you included in your message will be used in the next version. However, the viewer need more hack to handle word warp of two-byte encoded Chinese text correctly. The i18n branch is not part of this release. Still, any changes necessary to support multibyte chars is something that has to be added by someone that has a device using such chars. I can't add it. I have updated the branch with all the changes from the main trunk, though. I will not merge the i18n branch with the main trunk until the support is more or less complete... /Mike
Re: Palm Boulevard Submission Information
We wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that your software has been submitted or updated in the Palm Boulevard database. The item that was submitted or updated is: Once again they screw it up and copy the wrong content over with the wrong screenshot when they hijack the Palmgear.com submission data. Lovely. /d
Re: expanded description of the Plucker format available
But IMHO if the Reader of the PluckerDB find a SortInfo Block he should ignore them and see it not as an wrong DB. I don't know. If we are going to use it at all, we should define it. On the other hand, if we did ignore it, it would be a handy place to put expansion information. The same as with the AppInfo Block that is also not used by Plucker, but there are no Problem if this are there. Actually, I think we would use the info in the AppInfo block if it was there. Not in the PalmOS viewer, but possibly in other viewers the icons and the versioning information would be handy. Bill
Re: attributes field in paragraph header in text record?
You can change it to 13 bits. I will change the struct to the following,
typedef struct {
Int16 size; /* Size of text */
Int16 attributes; /* Paragraph info (see above) */
} Paragraph;
So the high-order 3 bits of attributes will be unused, and the
low-order 13 bits indicate the amount of extra paragraph spacing,
right?
Bill
This is so obviously clueless I'm blushing. Obviously you mean that
the high-order 13 bits are reserved, and that the 3 low-order bits
indicate the amount of extra paragraph spacing.

tr now models hr behavior. Intentional?
I just happened to be making some of the tutorials for Plucker, and ran across a site which seems to bring out a weird behavior in Plucker 1.1.13. Pluck this using 8bpp, maxdepth of 1, zlib: http://www.norpilot.no/avantgo/index.html And you get something resembling the two attached screenshots. Notice that the source code to that website uses tr where we see hr in Plucker. I haven't yet poured through the python code to see if this is intentional or not. Anyone else see this? /d NorPilot_site.gif NorPilot_palm.gif
Re: tr now models hr behavior. Intentional?
Note that when we translate a table, we put in the thick horizontal rules between rows, I believe it is, and thin horizontal lines between the columns of the row. So that site's not too surprising... Bill
Re: what version of autoconf?
What version of autoconf are folks using? I'm working with 2.52, and getting nowhere fast. Are you sure that's the autoconf version you're seeing? I have the latest bleeding-edge debian packages here, and they report 2.13. I suppose I could build from source, but there's probably no need, this seems to work fine for me. I see 2.52 on gnu.org though, dated July 18th. Whoa, wait, Debian has two versions installed at the same time, and 2.13 is used by default. Hrm... broccoli:~# dpkg -l | grep autoconf ii autoconf 2.52-2automatic configure script builder ii autoconf2.13 2.13-38 automatic configure script builder (obsolete ii pkg-config 0.8.0-1 program and autoconf macro to gather compile What's odd is that I can't remove autoconf2.13, even though it's obsolete, because it wants to remove a bunch of other things that I use. ACK! The following packages will be REMOVED: autoconf autoconf2.13 automake autoproject task-c++-dev task-devel-common xml-i18n-tools 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 13 not upgraded. In any case, 2.13 appears to work, and I guess this hybrid 2.52 amalgmated system works as well. I'll have to poke around and see what's tied to what here and break off the 2.13 stuff. /d

Support for HandEra 330?
I have attempted to run Plucker, about which I've heard great things, on my HandEra 330. Unfortunately, the Plucker manual gets stuck in some kind of loading loop when Plucker starts. I can see a percentage at the top of the screen cycling from 0% to 10% over and over and the contents of the first page just flicker as this happens. A reset is required to exit Plucker. I've heard from someone on a board that this is only a problem with compressed documents. But compression is one of the big benefits of Plucker, so it seems to me that it's broken for my purposes. I did not see any mention of this problem on your bugs page (which seemed pretty empty), or on any FAQ or other page. I was wondering if the development team is aware of this and if fixing this is on any to-do list. I'd be giddy with delight to find something that effectively replaces AvantGo, so I'm hoping you guys can find the time to get this working on the 330. -- Brian J.

Re: Support for HandEra 330?

I was wondering if the development team is aware of this and if fixing this is on any to-do list. Yes, we are aware of the Handera issues. Mike has been loaned a Handera 330 from one of my coworkers in the hopes that he can find a workable solution to the issues with it. Just give it a bit of time. I'd be giddy with delight to find something that effectively replaces AvantGo, so I'm hoping you guys can find the time to get this working on the 330. Now now, let's not go throwing AvantGo into this =) Seriously though, Plucker already surpasses AvantGo in many ways, but I'll save that for another argument. Some of the top ones of course are the dual compression, 8 languages, and the fact that it can work with local files and https websites, which AvantGo cannot do. I know Italics presents a problem for the Handera, so avoid that for the moment, and scale to fit has some issues. I don't have a Handera myself, so I don't know of any other issues. /d
