Extending Pib or including Pib into Package Browser are certainly interesting ideas, but PB is in an too early development stage to talk about this. Second, it is a task i'm not up to yet (me speaky da Tickle only for two weeks now ;-). Third, why want to glue the two together? PB will have a button to launch Pib 8-) and you can use both tools on the same screen without any problems. -Andre. FYI: I've updated the file on the web, the browser now actually works 8-).
