The first experimental PG plucker server is up. The goal is to convert ebooks to the plucker format on-the-fly. Plucker: see: www.plkr.org Find the no. of the ebook you want and then call this url: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/plucker/17000.plucker (replace 17000 with the ebook no.) Building the file may take some time when the servers are busy. But the second download should come much faster, out of the cache. If something awful happens, like if no suitable source file was found, you should get an error page. The source file will be HTML if available, else TXT. TXT files are parsed by a custom plucker parser, which works well enough on modern files but gets worse when applied to older ones. Get the "plucker 1.8 viewer package" for PalmOS from http://www.plkr.org/dl You don't need the plucker 'distiller' to view books you get from the PG plucker server. But with the distiller you can also plucker any other web site you like. For PocketPC go here: http://vade-mecum.sourceforge.net/ -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
