                Icq History Reader v1.8f [console] - FAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How do i use the program?
A: Looks like people forgot how to use console progies =)
   Here is an example. 
   Open DOS console window(usually "c:\windows\command.com") and type :
   "icqhr.exe youruin.dat output.html"
   Now, open the output.html with your favorite IE ;) 
   "explorer.exe output.html"

Q: Does it read the "deleted items" ?
A: Yes, it reads all messages stored in your .dat file.

Q: Does it use the .idx file?
A: No.

Q: Does it support any output formats other than HTML?
A: No, cause HTML output is good enough for < 10mb databases.

Q: Can i change the HTML output colors?
A: Yeah, you can. Just give it an argument like:
   "icqhr -f FF0000 -i 00FF00 -b 0000FF youruin.dat output.html"
   to change the font color to Red, info color to Green and back-
   ground color to Blue.
   Just type "icqhr" in the console to see the other arguments.

Q: Can i proccess the whole directory containing the dat files?
A: Sure! The best thing in console progies is that you can use 'em
   in different scripts :)
   DOS:  "for %f in (*.dat) do icqhr %f %f.html"
   bash: "for file in *dat;do icqhr $file $file.html;done"

Q: How can i extract the info for one specific UIN?
A: "icqhr -o <uin> <dat.file> <output.html>"

Q: How can i extract each UIN to its own file?
A: "icqhr -a <dat.file> <index.file>

Q: How can i adjust the local time?
A: "icqhr -t <localtime> <dat.file> <output.html>
   6 works fine for Moscow time :) 

Q: If i still don't understand how to use it?
A: It's your own problem. I will not answer any questions like
   "Shit. I've never saw a DOS console. Please, help me!"

Q: How can i get the IcqHR sources?
A: We are still working on it, that's why it remains closed-source. 

Q: What compilers was used?
A: DJGPP 2.95.2 was used to compile under DOS
   GCC   2.96   was used to compile under Linux
   VC++  6.0    was used to compile under Windows

Q: What if i have to suggest something?
A: We will be glad to hear your opinion.
