Tony, <I have a friend who would like to join CIS. He has an Amiga computer. Will the software CIS sends in his sign-up kit work on his machine?> No. He can access CIS with any decent terminal program (my favorite is Terminus, which is available here for downloading). If he is running OS 2.04 (or higher), has 3 megs of memory (1 chip) and 3-5 megs of space on his harddrive he can use a lovely front end called AutoPilot. It is a commercial program, the demo of which can be downloaded from the AmigaVendor library 9 as AP.Lha (he might want to d/load the docs, APDOCS.lha also). If he doesn't already have LHA, that can be downloaded from the AmigaUser library (Archivers/Crunchers) as LHA138.run (self extracting). AutoPilot is truly a lovely front end which will allow one to do most of the CIS mail offline, saving quite a bit of money. If your friend likes it, he can type GO SWREG and register it, after which he will get a magic email that will turn it into the full version. Hope this helps! Asha @}–`–,-
