wikitool is supposed to be a tool to make it easier to get
information from the wikit metakit data file from the command line.

See http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/wikitool.tcl for a tool to list and extract the contents of the Tcl'ers Wiki. This is needed because the current Tcl'ers Wiki uses pre-VFS style scripted documents.

Now that the Tcler's Wiki has updated to use a newer version of scripted document format, the wikitool also has changed to account for this. Someone manipulating a copy of this wikit needs to get a new version.

To use this tool, cd into the directory where you have a wikit.tkd file - that's the data portion of the wikit.  Then, execute wikitool.tcl -l .  Be certain that you get the most current copy - as mentioned above, previous versions are not likely to work.

The results you get is stdout containing lines such as:

   10:  2002/06/19 06:45:26  80.126.24.9      Jean-Claude Wippler

The format appears to be:

Field: 1                2                 3                4              5
 page number:  last update date last update time last updater's IP  page title

14apr03 [jcw] - There's another far more sophisticated "wikitool" by Tom Krehbiel, it's on [sdarchive].  ''Might be an idea to rename this thing to "wikiutil" or some such, just to avoid confusion...''
