Thanks. Ferret-browser is exactly what I needed.

Any idea where the index formats diverged? It is a pity because it
removes the ability to use a much larger set of tools for managing
Ferret indexes, and also the possibility of writing tools in ruby to
manipulate lucene indexes.

Regards,

Chris.

I believe Ferret has diverged from Lucene to the point that their 
indexes are not compatible.  ferret-browser, included in the latest 
Ferret gems, may display some of the same information as Luke.
