Terje,
I will rename
it README_appimage.txt which is what I should have done in the
first place but it was new and I did not know how it would all
work out. Below is what it will now say and if it looks OK to
you, I will put it on the website tomorrow. Note that I left
out any mention of cin.svg because now with AppImage, the
source is no longer downloaded to the user and they would have
to get it from the website src/cin...tgz file. You lose some
capabilities with the AppImage, but the users who have been
around awhile can find ways or do their own builds.

AppImage is a
software package that can be installed and run on various
Linux
distros. It has several advantages in that there is no need
to install or
compile software and no need to have root permission. In
addition, no system
files are modified and you can simply delete the software by
deleting the
AppImage file.
To install an AppImage, download it, make it executable and
run it. It is a
compressed image and contains all the dependencies/libraries
needed to run.
1) download AppImage file move from Download folder to
your preference
2) make it executable chmod u+x {AppImageFile name}
3) run it, for example ./CinGG-date-x86_64.AppImpage
ARCH requires install of the "libappimage" package.
LEAP 15.3 (openSUSE) requires install of the "appimage"
package.
