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
              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of program.
