<div>
App is located in &quot;C:\Program Files\Gaim&quot;<br />
Logs are located in &quot;C:\Documents and Settings\username\Applicat<wbr />ion Data\.gaim\logs&quot;<br />
then broken down to aim,icq,jabber,msn,yahoo. <br />
<br />
Files are .txt and then .html as I changed the logging about 5 months ago to html for easier readability.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
