A little python script I threw together to convert links to the MegaTokyo board to the new phpbb board on osdev.org Accepts anything with a threadid= or start=msg followed by a number including a full URL.

Standalone version

N.B. This still requires python, just not topic_map.txt or message_map.txt

Download from http://www.osdev.org/mediawiki/images/c/ce/Linkconvert.zip

Using external files

This requires the files topic_map.txt and message_map.txt to be in the current directory. They are available from zip archives here: http://www.osdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=83433#83433

#!/usr/bin/env python
