+Requirements
+----------------------
+ -> Miranda IM 0.6+:
+ Miranda IM is needed in version 0.6 or later.
+
+Usage
+----------------------
+ The registered associations of 'File Association Manager' can be
+ configured here: 'Options' -> 'Services' -> 'Associations'
+ You need to have other plugins installed that actually
+ offer URL protocols or file type associations.
+ This plugin only offers the registration service, it does not
+ add any file associations on its own.
+
+Installation
+----------------------
+ Find 'miranda32.exe' on your computer.
+
+ Just copy all the contents of the zip-file as they are into the 'Plugins' directory
+ in the Miranda IM folder.
+ 'File Association Manager' will detect the files and move them into the appropriate
+ directories on it's first run.
+
+ You can also do all the installation by hand, if you want to:
+
+ Main Plugin: Copy the file 'assocmgr.dll' into the 'Plugins' subdirectory
+ in the Miranda IM folder.
+
+ The Unicode version of the plugin will only work on Windows NT/2000/XP,
+ Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista or later with an installed
+ Unicode version of Miranda IM.
+ To use it on Windows 95/98/Me, please download the ANSI version of the plugin.
+
+ Documentation: The txt-files should be moved along with the SDK-zip into the
+ 'Docs' directory in the Miranda IM folder.
+
+ That's it!
+
+Bugs and Wishes
+----------------------
+ Feel free to mail me your wishes about 'File Association Manager' and tell
+ me all the bugs you may find.
+ My email address is: hrathh at users.sourceforge.net
+
+To-Do List (random ideas)
+----------------------
+ - draw a better mirandafile icon...anyone?
+ - outsource UrlDecode() function into MS_NETLIB_URLDECODE (MS_NETLIB_URLENCODE already exits)
+ add nice wrapper Netlib_UrlDecode() as this needs to be called in each urlparser service (substrings)
+ - test using different browsers
+ - remove demo purpose code (after some time)
+ - dreaming of an installer.dll plugin that registers on
+ mir-files to unzip them...anyone?
+
