While I was waiting 4 plus! it logged in MSN way. Now that Plus! is out I'd like to keep only oner version of log. So it would be pretty useful if I can convert those normal MSN chat logs to plus! format and let Plus! manage them.

I hope you have some knowledge of file manipulation (opening, editing, copying, pasting, etc...) in Windows and some knowledge of how the MSN logs works. Otherwise it is hard to explain step by step what you must do.

Use the attached XSL instead of the original MessageLog.xsl that you'll find in your MSN log directory. So rename the original one (to keep it if needed again later) and replace it with the attached one.

(The XSL file contains the layout of how the XML logs should be displayed in the browser)

So, after replacing the XSL, open the logs one by one in your browser and save them as TXT files (you have to use the emailaddress of the contact as filename of course). BTW, best is to use the "Microsoft Internet Explorer"-browser to make sure your XML-logs are read properly. (Some browsers might not read them well).

Move the saved TXT files to the correct folder (depending on where your Plus-logs are saved and on how you archive them (per month, per user)).

Sorry to tell you this but the logging has been available in all previous versions of Plus!...and it hasn't changed in the new one released today...

I know, but I didnt use Plus! before.

After replacing I can open logs in Plus! style but I cant save them as plain texts -- While 'save as', only selections are 'xml' and 'xsl'.

In that case select all the text and copy/paste it to notepad and save from there...
