======================================================================
|
|
|
|
Here you will find a few important notes about this new version of Thing,
|
|
both from the program technical as well as organisational point of view.
|
|
|
|
ù The sorting mode of files and folders can now be set separately for
|
|
each directory window.
|
|
|
|
ù 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.
|
|
|
|
ù Thing 1.27 absolutely requires the new THINGREG.OVL that is included in
|
|
the archive, otherwise no windows will be opened when the program is
|
|
launched. A new key, on the other hand, is _not_ required.
|
|
|
|
ù Thing 1.2x can no longer read configuration files from versions prior
|
|
to 0.59. Those still using such an old version should first of all use
|
|
the 1.09 version to save the configurations in the newer format. To do
|
|
this simply install 1.09 over the old version, start it once and
|
|
immediately save the settings. After this Thing 1.20 can be installed.
|
|
|
|
==========================================================================
|
|
As the English documentation for Thing 1.20 was not widely distributed,
|
|
the new items in that version are included here for information:
|
|
|
|
ù Thing 1.2x now costs 30 DM or œ16 for new registrations in place of
|
|
25 DM or œ13 previously.
|
|
|
|
ù Updates from Thing 1.0x are not free but subject to a charge of 15 DM
|
|
or œ6.
|
|
|
|
ù Registrations as well as updates are no longer handled by Arno Welzel,
|
|
but by Thomas Binder. For further details see REGISTER.TXT or UPDATE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
ù Thing now has two separate resource files, thing.rsc and thingtxt.rsc,
|
|
both of which have to be copied to the Thing directory when updating.
|
|
|
|
ù The new version of Thing uses a new registration process (thanks to
|
|
some successful hacks), which makes it necessary to also copy the file
|
|
THINGREG.OVL into the Thing directory. On this occasion I'd like to
|
|
remind you once more that a new key is needed for the update from V1.0x
|
|
(see UPDATE.TXT).
