Yes you can actually log AIM conversations.. A lot of clients have
features that do so, but in the AIM's client, you can download an
"add-on" for it. here is the link:
http://yourpage.blazenet.net/jbeatty/logginghack.zip the instructions
are inside the ZIP.. but in case they aren't here:
1.) Download this logginghack.zip
2.) Close AIM completely and remove AIM from the system tray (next to
the clock).
3.) Extract the contents which should include:
aim.odl
netwait.odl
osclog.ocm
readme.txt
4.) Copy the aim.odl, netwait.odl and osclog.ocm file to your most
current AIM directory (c:\program files\aim95\)
5.) You will be asked if you would like to overwrite existing files.
Answer YES TO ALL FILES.
6.) Run AIM now and open up your preference window. You will now see
the Logging feature on the left side on the very bottom.
*WARNING: *If you press the "Log Manager" button AIM WILL CRASH!
