Thing is Shareware! More about this in the file REGISTER.TXT.

Many thanks!


Actually an update for Thing with some bugfixes was due to appear soon 
after version 1.20, but unfortunately -- once again -- nothing came of 
this. The newly available version 1.27 is in comparison to 1.20 far more 
than a bugfix release and lives up to the larger jump of the version 
number.

The update is free of charge for registered users of Thing 1.20, but for
registered users of Version 1.0x there is a small charge for upgrading - 
see also UPDATE.TXT! Owners of the Psi-CD from the Whiteline CD Series can 
also update; the special conditions for this can be found in the file 
README.PSI!

The 'Thing Icon Manager' is ready at last, but I found it too big to 
include in the main Thing archive -- so it has its own archive which also 
makes separate updates easier. ThingIcn 1.10 should be available from the 
same source as Thing itself (if you don't have it already); the archive 
name is TICN110D.LZH for the German version and TICN110E.LZH for the 
English language one.
