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!
