+

+This is a thingy for compacting wasted space in your Miranda database and

+fixing inconsistencies that may have been introduced.

+

+To keep it simple and robust, Miranda will not by itself reclaim any blank

+space created by deleting information from its profile databases, so this tool

+will do that for you. It can also fix some problems that may occur in rare

+circumstances. Since it also re-writes the database in a more sensible order

+(a bit like defragmenting your hard disk) you may find that you get a speed

+improvement in Miranda by running your database through this tool.

+

+Todo: There is no support for any command line parameters to allow for

+unattended operation yet, and it would be helpful if there was better

+integration with Miranda to allow compaction when necessary. It's also

+possible to fix a larger range of faults than it currently can do, but that

+requires significantly more work.
