+Operation
+---------
+This module reads GEM images with between 1 and 8 bitplanes and 
+displays the image provided the video hardware is available.
+ThingIMG looks for an editable ASCII file called THINGIMG.INF in the 
+user Home directory which understands the following keywords:
+
+Cachetyp=[off|readonly|on]
+CacheDir=[path, where the cache files are saved]
+
+The cache enables images in device dependent format to be created 
+which accelerated the loading process, especially with large images.
+
+[off] switches this function off
+[readonly] allows images already in the cache-directory to be used but 
+no new images will be created.
+[on] allows new images to be created as required.
+If no THINGIMG.INF is found the cache will not be available.
