 K  Known problems/Bugs             Kobold
    Kobold-tipIf you have to continue using Kobold 2, change the 
line 'OKBD 0' to 'OKBD 1' in THING.INF with a text
editor (or insert it if it's not present).
Thing will then (hopefully) use Kobold-2 compatible
jobs. This setting isn't lost on saving THING.INF.

 *  _CLIPBRDIf, due to the lack of a suitable icon editor, you want
to edit the icons using 'IconCons' from the Ease desktop, 
rename the icon to _CLIPBRD, because the program only 
supports a maximum of eight characters for labels. Thing 
looks for _CLIPBRD if CLIPBOARD is not available.
                        _PARENTIf, due to the lack of a suitable icon editor, you want
to edit this icon using 'IconCons' from the Ease desktop,
rename the icon to _PARENT, because the program only 
supports a maximum of eight characters for labels. Thing 
looks for _PARENT if PARENTDIR is not available.
