Interesting script. If you like, you can register for the WikiTaxi Wiki
page at http://wikitaxi.org/delphi/doku.php/wiki/wikitaxi/index, create
a new page for your importer and post the script there.

Both are correct. However, if there is demand - and your script suggests
this - I will look into adding both features.

WikiTaxi.exe takes two optional command line arguments:
1. Database file to load after start.
2. Page name to open - must be 100% correct including case.
Example to run WikiTaxi, load the "MyWiki.taxi" database and display
"StartPage":
WikiTaxi.exe MyWiki.taxi StartPage
You can use this syntax to create a Windows shortcut to start WikiTaxi
the way you want.
