NAME

       plucker-prc-install - fetch and install Plucker viewer application on a Palm pilot

SYNOPSIS

       plucker-prc-install [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the plucker-prc-install command.  This manual page was written for the
       Debian distribution because this program was created for the Debian package.

       plucker-prc-install is a program that fetches and installs the Plucker viewer application.

       The  program uses wget to get the .tar.bz2 archive from the Web. You need to be connected to the Internet
       and have wget working correctly in order to use this program. You may have to configure  the  environment
       variable http_proxy. You can take a look at the lynx command manpage to get information about http_proxy.

       The program tries to use the correct language version of the viewer according to the environment variable
       LANG.

       The  program  then  uses either gpilot-install-file or pilot-xfer to transfer the three .prc files to the
       Palm pilot.

       With pilot-link 0.12.x it is mandatory to provide a port to use.  plucker-prc-install first use the value
       of the PILOTPORT environment variable. If PILOTPORT is not  defined  it  uses  /dev/pilot.  If  the  file
       /dev/pilot does not exist it uses usb:.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').
       A summary of options is included below.

       --nohires
              installs  the low-resolution version of the Plucker viewer. If you are using a Palm with a 160x160
              screen (Palm m500-series and earlier) you can save approximately 90  KB  by  installing  the  low-
              resolution  version of the viewer. Note that the hires version will still work on older Palms, but
              will just take up unnecessary space.

       -h, --help

       -v, --version
