+Readme for ThingIcn 1.10, (c) 1996-1998 Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Yes indeed, the new ThingIcn is ready! Although it took longer than I 
+would have liked, I hope it was worth the wait!
+
+If you are still confused about the purpose of this program, ThingIcn is 
+the Icon Manager for Thing, the alternative desktop for all computers with 
+TOS-compatible operating systems. Those who do not use Thing, or know it, 
+won't be able to do much with ThingIcn. If you have never heard anything 
+about Thing, you should get hold of the THIN125E.LZH archive as soon as 
+you can -- it should be available from the same place as ThingIcn.
+
+Installation of ThingIcn is very simple: THINGICN.APP and THINGICN.RSC 
+must be copied into the same directory that contains THING.APP -- and 
+that's it! One can then call up the Icon Manager from Thing via the 
+'Extra - Edit Icons...' menu entry.
+
+Oh yes, OK, one should of course copy THINGICN.HYP and THINGICN.REF into 
+the hypertext folder (usually ST_GUIDE\GUIDES\) to savour the advantages 
+of on-line help; one can also read all the details about using the 
+program there. Naturally, ST_GUIDE.ACC (or .PRG) has to be active on your 
+system in order to make use of this.
+
+I would like to express my thanks here to Dirk Klemmt, who has contributed 
+a great deal to completing the new ThingIcn -- in addition the 3D-look 
+naturally also comes from him!
+
+If you have questions about ThingIcn that are not answered in the 
+hypertext, then you can ask me. My address:

+Oh, I nearly forgot: Though ThingIcn was developed with great care and 
+tested extensively, the possibility of some bugs remaining cannot be 
+excluded. I therefore cannot guarantee that it is free from all errors, 
+and can accept no liability for any kind of damage that has arisen or may  
+arise from proper or improper use of ThingIcn. Use is at you own risk!
