Hmm.. its a shame you lost the archive, I would have thrashed out an
english version for you (an others) is you still had it

I am not 100% on this yet, but there may be some alternate "Thing"
movement in coming months. Weather or not this is a repackaged Thing I
can not say, probably just Thing compatible/complient..

If someone was to take the time to track down the problem with 1.27, I
am sure there is someone who would produce a patch for it.

FYI: if it is true as PeterS states, then there are still quite a few
users of kernel 1.16 out there (confirmed by Lonny)
