***********************************************

This KDE4 plasmoid displays exchange rate for cpecicied currencies.

SUPPORTED CURRENCIES:
***********************************************
Supported currencies listed on the next http://www.floatrates.com/feeds.html.
Currency code specified in parentheses. As example: USD, EUR, RUB....

NOTE: Update exchange rates on the site takes place once a day.For this reason, 
there is no need to install frequent updates.

You only need to specify base currency (the currency against which calculates 
rates) code into the plasmoid settings and any currency for which you want to 
display exchange rate.
In the straight course specified currency codes separated by semicolons that 
are calculated to the base currency. Accordingly, in the course of an 
inverted calculation is performed with respect to this currency. 
For example, the base currency and the USD exchange rate is determined for 
the EUR, direct the course will be the USD/EUR, and the inverted 
EUR/USD dollar, respectively.

With version 0.2 you can include the option to display percentage changes in 
exchange rates in relation to the previous day or the average of the exchange 
rates of the week. 
The history of rate changes be stored on your computer and increases as update 
the working plasmoid (all stored up to 31 entries for all currencies against 
the base currency). If one day the plasmoid did not work (the computer was 
turned off, and so on) that day is ignored in the calculation of the average 
rate for the week. Any changes to the base currency, the data for the previous 
saved in history, and when you return it will be restored. The history files 
are stored in ~ /.currency/
