replies: text: That might be a good idea. The author of TomeRaider suggested this as well. He will start actively promoting Wikipedia once TR 3 is out. That might indeed bring heavy traffic, even without his involvement I had already over 13,000 page visits on my site, no idea though how many visitors actually downloaded the files.

:You'll have to ask the author of TomeRaider at www.proporta.com. I expect the answer will be no (if any, they are not too responsive). Is there not a PC emulator for MacOS ? Erik Zachte 11:15, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Text-only version does not limit number of articles. It contains all texts of complete Wikipedia (article namespace) at the time of production. 
By the way to pre-empt questions: I've been working for months on an script upgrade, which supports newer Wikipedia syntax features like conditional templates and other complicated stuff. It is still a work in progress. Please be patient. Erik Zachte 00:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: How do you do this with open source software?  I know people have wikipedia in plucker, but I can't find any actual files anyplace.  JeffBurdges 11:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've written one myself. Very, very basic, but it does what I want it to do.
Similar to what Erik does in the conversion (but no where near as good as his!), but my main issue was the amount of time it takes the TR3 compiler to produce the .tr3 file.  Mine takes about 6 hours using perl/cygwin.  The viewer is homebrew and, as I said, basic.  Does links and searching.  Datafile (a .gz hybrid) is about 1.9Gb.  Just the text with minimal formatting (no tables).

It also does other wiki's too.
