# plucker-prc-install(1)

fetch and install Plucker viewer application on a Palm pilot

## 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.
