Interesting; when I started writing pageviewer.php3 I only wanted a
debugging tool for developers... I didn't think about making it available
to end users.

It should be renamed then to wiki_pagestructure.php3 or something similar
for consistency.

Yes, was thinking about this last night. The algorithm would be:

* in a DBM-based Wiki, call dump.php3.
* Choose between saving the page source only (like the files in pgsrc/),
or as serialized data structures (preserving all page information).
* Dump the pages
* Edit wiki_config.php3, switching databases
* call load.php3 to load pages; choose whether they are page source or
serialized hashes in files
* load the database, checking for each file whether it has all 8
attributes (lastmodified, refs, created, version, etc) and add defaults if
they are not there
* go have coffee and relax

ok, this is in TODO

Question: (I think I already emailed you on this) what do you think about
making the schema for the ARCHIVE table the same as for WIKI? I think this
might save us some code writing since InsertPage and RetrievePage can work
on both tables.

Seems longer ago than that! :-)
