The TWiki.Know web uses this category table to set classification, platform and OS version. -* [[PeterThoeny]] - 18 Nov 1998: Internal log of topic save actions to the file `data/logYYYYMM.txt`, where `YYYYMM` the year and month in numeric format is.

Topic TWikiHistory . \{ Edit | Ref-By | r1.3 | r1.2 | r1.1 \}
Revision r1.3: 1998/10/26 01:34:00 by [[PeterThoeny]] -* [[PeterThoeny]] - 14 Oct 1998: Refered-By: Find out which topics have a link to the current topic. Each topic has a |Ref-By| link for that.
