No Jamie……sorry.
Actually they had an entirely new interface written for the CIM products. It's
called the HMI for Human Machine Interface to allow the fancy new features and
multi-tasking in some areas. One of the things they forgot to tell the
programmers about was the SYSOP software running in conjunction with the ACCESS
software on each forum. Guess what the CIM's CAN'T do…<g>.
Well….that ain't entirely true. You can kick them into terminal mode and get
back to the command interface. Then they act just like all the other brain dead
programs we all know and love. So I just use TAPSYS, and have been for several
years. Handling the message base while reading the messages is really handy.
BTW. I still got (someplace) that ATO script file you wrote for joining new
forums and setting up the parameters.
We also got a new Product Manager. Bill has moved on to greener pastures
through promotion. And I've been trying to get the destructions for the CIM
products for awhile now. So far no joy. Seems the printed manuals are in more
scarce supply than the SYSOP manuals. Even Bob Henderson ain't got one of them
yet.
I can go download a copy of WinCIM (they got them available to us), and give it
a try. Maybe I can come up with something.
