| | 102 | The PCL3/4/5 parser included in pkpgcounter is a Python backport of an early |
| | 103 | release of the PCLCount software by Eduardo Gielamo Oliveira and Rodolfo Broco |
| | 104 | Manin. |
| | 105 | |
| | 106 | Although this IS NOT needed for pkpgcounter to work, you can download the |
| | 107 | original PCLCount software from : |

| | 112 | or the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free Software Foundation. |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | Over time both software evolved following different paths, and the accounting |
| | 115 | results they give may differ depending on the printer driver being used. |
| | 116 | We know that pkpgcounter's PCL3/4/5 parser sometimes is not accurate, |
| | 117 | and we are working on improving the situation. We currently don't know how |
| | 118 | PCLCount would behave with the same input files. |
| | 119 | |
| | 120 | pkpgcounter's PCLXL (aka PCL6) parser doesn't originate from PCLCount, but |
| | 121 | was written from scratch. |
