+
+ The options to use 'Hibernate mode' and 'Lock workstation'
+ are only available if your system supports it.
+ All other options are only available if they are enabled on your system.

+
+Installation
+----------------------
+ Find 'miranda32.exe' on your computer.
+
+ Just copy all the contents of the zip-file as they are into the 'Plugins'
+ subdirectory in the Miranda IM folder.
+ 'AutoShutdown' 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 'shutdown.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 2000, 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.
+
+ Sounds: The wav-files should be moved into the 'Sounds'
+ directory. They will get recognized automatically and be added to the sounds list.
+
+ That's it!
+
+Bugs and Wishes
+----------------------
+ Feel free to mail me your wishes about 'AutoShutdown' and tell
+ me all the bugs you may find: hrathh at users.sourceforge.net
+
+To-Do List (random ideas)
+----------------------
+ ? Design some icons for the shutdown types (shutdown, reboot, etc.)...anyone?
+ ? Ddd possibility to shutdown on status change of specific users
+ ? Support Alarms Plugin API (m_alarms.h):
+ This would replace countdown frame, showing the shutdown countdown
+ on the Alarms frame instead (don't know if this is a good idea, not yet possible)
+ ? Show system tray icon when automatic shutdown is enabled (not needed, bad looking)
+ ? Add possibility to set Miranda to a specific status instead of offline
+ (really shutdown related?)
+ ? Start a specified application on event (really shutdown related?)
