Thanks everyone. This gives me what I wanted. Not something I'll use on a daily basis because if I am correct, the node.js version does not work on Android, That ability is the reason I migrated to TiddlyWiki. With an encrypted TiddlyWiki, coupled with Andwiki on my Androids, I can use Google Drive (the only cloud service not blocked at my firm) and Drive Autosync on all my Androids to keep everything easily synced and available all around without jumping through any hoops.
Now that I know I can keep an archived copy of my "notes" in plain text format I can rest a little easier and will continue to work at learning how to optimize my tiddlywiki experience. For the record, over the past several years I have used ConnectedText (No android version), ResophNotes (syncing is unstable), Evernote (linking is awkward), SimpleNote (no linking at all), TreePad (linking is unwieldy and the android app requires too many steps to sync), Wiki On a Stick (obsolete and no android version), Emacs (an even steeper learning curve than TiddlyWiki) and my old reliable text editor NoteTab (wiki-linking works great but I have found no Android text editor that allows for wiki links). I've played with several other apps, but those are the ones I still keep an eye on just in case lightning strikes and any of them suddenly break out with something really special. I had been doing that with TiddlyWiki for years as well, until I discovered I could now import my thousand or so plain text files into TW5.
