+
+  INTRODUCTION
+
+    CensusPlus came about due to requested changes and desired options
+    not present in the original Census UI Mod by Ian Pieragostini.
+    
+    I spoke with Ian and he has lost interest in World of Warcraft modding
+    and encouraged me to modify the Census Mod to my liking.  Thus I
+    have done so.
+    
+    The original Census UI Mod basically took snapshots of your current
+    realm and faction.  You could keep this data and combine it with 
+    other snapshots to provide greater statistical analysis.
+    
+    CensusPlus offers many features above and beyond what the original Census
+    UI mod provided.  Here follows a list of added features:
+    
+        -  Abilty to minimize the main census window
+            which provides you the abilty to actually play while a census
+            is being taken
+        -  Ability for the Friends panel not to be shown after
+            each /who is sent to the server.  This keeps the UI open from 
+            the main Census window
+        -  Ability to pause and unpause the current census
+        -  Ability to stop the current census in progress
+        -  Added a date information which allows the user to place a
+            date timestamp on all characters that are found during census's
+            taken that day --  This helps facilitate greater accuracy in 
+            results when census data is uploaded to www.warcraftrealms.com
+        -  Data on number of characters seen during the census snapshot.
+        -  Collection of Honor points data.
+
+  USAGE
+  
+    Unzip the files into your %World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory.  It
+    should create a CensusPlus directory with the installed files.
+    
+    If you have Cosmos installed, CensusPlus will register itself with Cosmos
+    and you can invoke the Census window by selecting the CensusPlus option from
+    the Census menu.
+    
+    You can also invoke the CensusPlus window by typing /censusplus or /census+
+    
+    You can select to not open the Friends panel when a /who is sent.
+    
+    You can select to automatically display the Mini-Census button which must be
+    visible in order for a Census to be taken while the main Census window is 
+    minimized.
+    
+    By selecting the Take button from the main census panel, you will initiate a
+    Census snapshot.  Depending on the population of your realm and faction, this could 
+    take several minutes.
+    
+    Clicking the Purge button will purge all your collected data from your local Census
+    database.
+    
+    Clicking the Stop button will stop the current census if one is in progress.
+    
+    Clicking the Pause button will pause the current census if one is in progress.
+    
+    If you so choose, you can upload your collected census information to 
+    http://www.warcraftrealms.com    Doing so will greatly help in the tracking
+    of your realm and faction's population numbers and statistics.
