=======================================================================
    AVVISO DELL'ATARI COLDFIRE PROJECT TEAM (http://acp.atari.org)
=======================================================================

Si avvisa che alcuni dei documenti presenti nelle cartelle di Thing non
sono pi— aggiornati.

L'anno passato, il desktop Thing Š stato rilasciato come FreeWare dagli
autori ed una Chiave pubblica Š stata resa disponibile attraverso
l'Atari Coldfile Project (http://acp.atari.org).

Ne consegue che le copie di Thing presenti in questa distribuzione sono
gi… registrate con il nome di PublicACP. Inoltre, entrambi le versioni
sono gi… configurate per il computer FireBee, anche se dovrebbero essere
impiegabili su qualungue piattaforma TOS, dopo aver resettato le 
impostazioni di Thing.

Visitate la pagina Web ACP (http://acp.atari.org) per aggiornamenti e
dettagli di rilascio !

RICONOSCIMENTO
--------------
La distribuzione "FreeMiNT Setup" per il FireBee Š stata possibile grazie
a mesi di duro lavoro da parte di Jo Even Skarstein gi… famoso per Taskbar,
e molto conosciuto nella Comunit… Atari.

=======================================================================
                          Thing  1.27/1.29
                          ----------------
GENERALITA'
-----------
Questa cartella contiene sia Thing 1.27 che Thing 1.29 (beta). Questi
desktop sono selezionabili insieme a Teradesk, con il programma SEL_DESK,
come desktop di default (fare riferimento a readme.htm per le linee guida
generali). Tutti i desktop sono gi… preconfigurati per il FireBee con un
setup di base.
 
Anche se Thing 1.29 presenta alcuni vantaggi rispetto alla versione 1.27
(come, per esempio, la gestione automatica delle icone disco) si tratta 
sempre di UNA VERSIONE BETA, di cui sono state segnalate alcune bug 
fastidiose. Se avete problemi con Thing 1.29, tornate con il programma 
SEL_DESK alla pi— anziana, ma pi— stabile versione 1.27.

Thing 1.27 Š pre-installata in Inglese, mentre Thing 1.29 Š pre-installata
in Tedesco. In aggiunta, tutti i documenti della distribuzioni originali 
UK e DE sono stati conservati, anche se alcuni contenuti risultano
attualmente superati. Questa soluzione Š stata scelta per mantenere 
l'archivio di Thing coerente con le distribuzioni originali fatte a
suo tempo dagli autori.

Le traduzioni nazionali (<COUNTRY>, a partire da questo punto) sono
fornite senza modifiche, vale a dire cosŤ come distribuite dagli
autori originali. E' da notare che molti degli autori originali non
sono pi— attivi sulla piattaforma Atari, e potrebbero non fornire
supporto o aggiornamenti.

<COUNTRY> FILES INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
--------------------------------------
WARNING: THING 1.27 AND THING 1.29 RESOURCE FILES ARE NOT ALIKE. 
         DO NOT MIX FILES FROM DIFFERENT VERSIONS!

This procedure was written for Thing 1.27. The Thing 1.29 procedure
is alike, apart from the source and destination folders.

Inside the LANGUAGE folder you will find the translations organised
in <COUNTRY> subfolders. Note that some <COUNTRY>.RSC files are
available with the B & W logo only. Inside <COUNTRY> folders are
also located a few help files in various formats (see CONTENTS.TXT 
for details on available translations).

- Open the appropriate <COUNTRY> subfolder to verify all the available
  files. A full description is available in the CONTENTS.TXT file. 
  The main Thing resource file is some cases is available in two versions: 
  with Color Logo and with B&W Logo. The two versions differ by the logo 
  and by size (B&W<64Kb, Color>64Kb). Verify to your System specifications, 
  select the appropriate Resource file and rename it to THING.RSC (if 
  required/when available).
- Open THING's main folder: C:\THING\THING.127.
- Locate THING's main Resource files: THING.RSC and THINGTXT.RSC.
- Backup these files (although not strictly required), rename them 
  (for istance in THING.RSX and THINGTXT.RSX) or delete them. 
- Drag and drop THING.RSC and THINGTXT.RSC files from the source subfolder
  (..\LANGUAGE\THING.127\<COUNTRY>\THING\) to the destination folder.
- Close the Desktop and restart it via the LAUNCH DESK entry available
  in the PROCESS MENU of XAAES. The desktop will be re-opened with the 
  language of your choice.

IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG:
-----------------------
If Thing complains for missing/damaged RSC files and doesn't show up. 
- Start a different Desktop (i.e. TERADESK) via the LAUNCH entry 
  available in the PROCESS Menu of XAAES.
- Repeat the "RESOURCE FILES' INSTALLATION" procedure.
- Close the desktop and restart the desktop via the LAUNCH DESK menu
  entry in XAAES.
- If Thing still doesn't work, restart a different Desktop and restore
  the original THING's RSC files.
- Report the problem on the FireBee board on ATARI-FORUM 
  (http://www.atari-forum.com) or the FireBee Users Mailing List

IF THE THING INTERFACE DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT:
------------------------------------------
- Restore the original RSC files.
- Report the problem on the FireBee board on ATARI-FORUM. 
  (http://www.atari-forum.com) or the FireBee Users Mailing List

THINGICN <COUNTRY> FILE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
----------------------------------------------
Thing Icon Manager is a handy program to customise the icons 
assignment to programs and files. Version 1.10 is compatible
with Thing 1.27 and Thing 1.29. ThingIcn is currently available
in UK, DE and IT. Resource files are nested inside the 
LANGUAGE\THING.127\<COUNTRY>\THING\ subfolder of UK, DE and
IT <COUNTRY> main folders.
- Open the appropriate ..LANGUAGE\THING.127\<COUNTRY>\THING\ 
  subfolder. 
- Open THING's main folder: C:\THING\THING.127\THING\.
- Locate ThingIcon main Resource file: THINGICN.RSC .
- Backup this file (although not strictly required), rename it 
  (for istance in THINGICN.RSX) or delete it. 
- Drag and drop THINGICN.RSC from the appropriate source folder
  (..\LANGUAGE\THING.127\<COUNTRY>\THING\) to the destination folder.
- Start THINGICON from the Icon edit either the Icon Edit menu entry 
  or directly.
- If the program doesn't start or complain for wrong/missing files
  repeat the procedure. If you still have problems, delete THINGICN.RSC
  and restore the former file.


INSTALLATION OF THING'S HELP FILES (.HYP)
-----------------------------------------
Note first:
- THING 1.29 HYP files are NOT AVAILABLE. 
- THING 1.27 HYP files are available in UK and DE only.
- THING ICON MANAGER 1.10 HYP file is available in UK & DE.

In the FreeMiNT distribution for the FireBee, the Hypertext guides (help
documents) are located in C:\GUIDES. The THING ST-Guide for Thing 1.27 
(THING.HYP and THING.REF) is pre-installed, and you are not required to 
take further actions. The two available Hypertext guides are located:
German  : LANGUAGE\THING.127\DE\GUIDES\
English : LANGUAGE\THING.127\UK\GUIDES\
- First verify that ST-Guide is up and running;
- Verify what  <COUNTRY> HYP files are available in the <COUNTRY>\GUIDES 
  subfolders. 
- Backup first THING.HYP and THING.REF files available in C:\GUIDES 
  and Rename or delete them.
- Drag & Drop the appropriate THING.HYP and THING.REF files from Source 
  folder to C:\GUIDES.
- Check if the HYP file are properly opened (i.e. via the Atari Keyboard 
  HELP button or F11 key on Win-Aranym systems), or open it directly 
  either with ST-Guide or Hypview.
- If it doesn't work repeat this procedure or restore the original files.   

THIS IS IT!
