     102The PCL3/4/5 parser included in pkpgcounter is a Python backport of an early 
     103release of the PCLCount software by Eduardo Gielamo Oliveira and Rodolfo Broco 
     104Manin.  
     105 
     106Although this IS NOT needed for pkpgcounter to work, you can download the 
     107original PCLCount software from : 
     108 
     109    http://www.fea.unicamp.br/pclcount/ 
     110     
     111Their software is distributed under either the terms of a BSD-like license,     
     112or the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free Software Foundation. 
     113     
     114Over time both software evolved following different paths, and the accounting 
     115results they give may differ depending on the printer driver being used. 
     116We know that pkpgcounter's PCL3/4/5 parser sometimes is not accurate, 
     117and we are working on improving the situation. We currently don't know how  
     118PCLCount would behave with the same input files. 
     119 
     120pkpgcounter's PCLXL (aka PCL6) parser doesn't originate from PCLCount, but  
     121was written from scratch.
