0. Introduction
===============

 * Purpose of this document

   This is a collection of important things you might want to know to get the
   most out of HistoryStats plugin for Miranda IM.

 * Outline

   1. Installation
   2. Plugin support
   3. Documentation
   4. Credits


1. Installation
===============

 * Download

   The most recent version of this plugin should always be available at [1].
   In case you want to switch back to an older version of HistoryStats (might
   be problematic and in general not advisable) this is the place to search at.
   Additionaly, you can find it on the official Miranda IM File Listing under
   [2] (non-Unicode) and [3] (Unicode).

   [1] http://miranda.dark-passage.de/
   [2] http://addons.miranda-im.org/details.php?action=viewfile&id=2534
   [3] http://addons.miranda-im.org/details.php?action=viewfile&id=2535

 * Requirements

   For the ANSI/Unicode build: Miranda IM 0.6.7 or above.

 * PNG format support

   Please use the "png2dib.dll" plugin from Miranda IM 0.6.7 or any newer
   version. Note that there might be problems with transparency for older
   versions of "png2dib.dll". Note that "advaimg.dll" replaces "png2dib.dll"
   in Miranda IM 0.7.0 #27 or above.
   
 * Stripping raw RTF control sequences from messages

   In order for this option to be available the library "rtfconv.dll" needs
   to be in the Miranda IM folder or in the "plugins" subfolder. You can
   download "rtfconv.dll" from [1] (just extract that one file and ignore the
   rest) or you should be able to find an alternative link to it in [2].

2. Plugin support

3. Documentation
================

   There is no official documentation but maybe the FAQ [1] or the Miranda IM

   on the forums.
