An effort to document and describe a variety of (mostly obsolete) instant messaging log file formats.

Introduction

Instant messaging—of one sort or another—has been a part of my life almost as long as email has. But unlike Internet email, which benefits from widely-accepted standardization (RFC 822, 2822, 5322, etc.) and open-source implementations, instant messaging has generally been the domain of relatively short-lived, proprietary products, each with their own wire protocols and on-disk storage formats.
