You know what... I think using Luke powered by a version of Lucene with my patch applied would allow it to read Ferret indexes. I don't have time to check this out right now. And ironically, I've made further mods to KinoSearch's file format, so it wouldn't make Luke available to KinoSearch users unless I change it back. hahaha. ":o The patch was prepared against subversion, but it might work against 1.9.1. If it doesn't, it would be trival to finish it and package it up. Maybe we can convince the Lucene folks to distribute it through their channels... or I can put it up at my site. Maybe Luke's author would be amenable to distributing it from his site, but I dunno about that - people might blame him rather than me or Balmain when stuff fails to work.
