No they are not assigned by Palm.

Are they _still_ using Plucker code in violation of the GPL?
Its seems very frustrating, but based on what you've said, it looks like
they're just using Bluefish as some sort of component in their solution.
Can we not approach them and suggest working

If someone add such a feature then it will probably be possible ;-)
However, I wouldn't remove the TBMP handling just because JPEG/PNG

Robert,
The bullet characters are there -- but the viewer needs some hacking
to support them. The bullet characters are in there using the
UNICODE-CHARACTER function code, with an alternate fallback character
of "o". The viewer could be hacked to display a handful of those

Considering that there are many Plucker DBs out there with TBMP images
in them, and that the DBFormat document calls for Palm-format images,
I'd think that support wo

Hello, I just downloaded Plucker and it doesn't make sense to me how to use it. How do I use it like avantgo where I can look at web pages while I'm offline. I keep getting references to computer language code which is out of my league. Please offer any suggestions. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I knew I was in the wrong forum but didn't know where the other one was. As far as the manual goes, read a lot of it. Is it worth the trouble to learn Plucker. Is it really better than avantgo?

Thank you for comments.
I tried to compress a jpeg (photo) image into several formats and found
that tbmp with gzip compression is not bad. Size of the product is as
same as that of PNG format, and even smaller than jpeg in the case of
gray and bitmap images.
