README.txt

This is an open-source Wikipedia bot called Autobot.  A bot is a computer
program that performs repetitious, tedious tasks that do not require human
judgement.  Autobot is intended for use only by people who contribute
constructively to Wikipedia and have advanced knowledge of computer
programming.

Autobot was created by Richard Cavell and has been developed by a small
number of people.  We license this to you under, at your option, an
appropriately modified BSD license and/or an appropriately modified MIT
license and/or the GPLv3 license.

This project is hosted at SourceForge as autobotwiki.  It is run on Richard
Cavell's computer as RichardcavellBot.  You can run it on your own computer
under a different name.

It was developed mainly on Ubuntu and OS X, but should compile on any
system that supports libcurl.  Unfortunately, there is some unavoidable
platform-specific code, which should be easily ported.

There are several undocumented command line options.  All documented command
line options can be listed by running the bot with the command line option
--allinfo

All the data that are worth fiddling with are in variables.c

You can find out more about the various parts of this project by reading
the files that contain ".txt" in the name.
