plucker for Debian
------------------

To install plucker run plucker-setup(1) and optionally
plucker-prc-install.

Plucker consists of three parts: the parser, the conduit, and the
viewer.

The conduit takes the converted HTML files from a directory or from your
computer's system memory (RAM; using the python parser) and places them
in a database on your Palm device, or directs them to a file (which is
the same as the database) on your desktop, which you can sync to your
emulator or your "real" Palm device at a later time.

For example you could use:
$ plucker-build > dumb.pdb    #reads home.html
$ pilot-xfer -i dumb.pdb
