Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OT: Ora 9i docs in Plucker format (FORWARD OFFERS TO ME DIRECTLY)
Hey all,
For my own use, I've converted a subset of the Oracle 9i docs to Plucker format (offline web reader) for my Palm PDA (Sony Clie NX60). The subset of the docs is most of the Server set, minus RMAN and a few others that I don't currently use in my job (sorry!), in order to keep the filesize to an absolute minimum.
At first I did this as just sort of a geek thing ("See! I've got portable Oracle docs!"), but I'm finding it to be very handy. And I'm thinking others might, too. Here's the catch: The .PDB is about 9.5MB and as my 'net uplink is only 384kbps, so I'm looking for someone to be able to host this file for those on ORACLE-L that would like to take a look.
The requirements to use the file as-is are: PalmOS PDA or compatible, Plucker offline web reader ( http://www.plkr.org) for PalmOS, 9.5MB free storage on PalmOS PDA (expansion card recommended), estimated minimum 750KB free internal RAM on PalmOS PDA (SQL Functions page is pretty big). I'll also add that a hires screen, 320x320 or the nummy 320x480 like on my NX60, really makes it much mo' better to use, but it should be OK at 160x160. As an aside, the Plucker distiller has "issues" with large sites and was never able to create this successfully -- it took the command-line version of JPluck ( http://jpluck.sf.net) on a Linux box with 512MB memory to generate it, and it's perfectly readable with the Plucker viewer for PalmOS.
Any takers to host the file? Sorry, but because of bandwidth, I'm not able to honor one-off requests for the file.
