   1 QIP decoder for Pidgin
   2 ----------------------
   3
   4 Installation and configuration
   5 ==============================
   6 Copy qip-decoder.dll or qip-decoder.so to pidgin plugins directory on Windows,
   7 or to /usr/lib/purple-2 directory on Linux.
   8 In plugin settings Tools/Plugins (Ctrl+U) enable the QIP Decoder plugin.
   9
  10 Version 1.3 allows to set codepage independently for each one contact.
  11 For this to work, you must create file qips.xml in
  12 C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application data\.purple directory on Windows,
  13 or in ~/.purple on Linux.
  14
  15 Example: Most of your contacts have QIP and use codepage # 1250. Howewer, your
  16 contact 111222333 has QIP and is using codepage # 1252. Next contact 222333444
  17 has Pidgin and writes in Russian (it corresponds to the codepage # 1251).
  18 This contact requires disabling the QIP Decoder, which would corrupt cyrillic by
  19 its operation.
