** What is GroChat ? **

    GroChat is a web based chat software coded with PHP which doesn't need a 
    database to work. It was developped to offer a light weight solution to 
    people who want to install a webchat based software on their website 
    without having to install / customize a database for that.
    
    For that, GroChat make a massive use of text files to manage the content 
    of the chat.
    
    It supports private/public messaging, file send and receive, announce 
    system and smileys. An option permites to show or hide message time.

** How to install it ? **

    Just unpack the content of the archive in the destination directory on 
    your webserver. Then double check the file permissions on the chat.txt
    and chatHistory.txt files (webserver must have write permission).
    
    You will be able to connect to your chat with the correct URL, 
    depending on where your unpacked the archive.
    eg: http://www.tatouage.fr/grochat/
    
    You can configure your chat by editing the properties at the beginning of 
    the chat.php file, here is the detail of the properties :
    
    CHAT_FILE: The name of the file used to store the public content of the 
               chat. If it doesn't exist, we will try to create it. Check 
               perms on this file for troubleshooting.
    
    CHAT_HISTORY: The same, but for the whole history of what was typed on the
                  chat (username, message content and date).
    
    CHAT_SIZE: The number of line sended on clients screen (client history).
    
    SESSION_DURATION: The time, in minutes, between a specific user's last 
                      message and his automatic deconnection (timeout).
                      
    DATETIME_FORMAT: The format of the date/time properties when displayed on
                     screen, the default is G:i:s (which means HH:MM:SS in 
                     PHP format). Use the PHP date() function format.

    MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE: The max length of each file uploaded by the users on 
                     the server (in bytes).
    
    MAX_UPLOAD_POOL: The max length of the whole files uploaded by the users
                     on the server (in bytes).
