Henri:
There are lots of other software packages for accessing CompuServe that are
generally known as "off-line readers". They allow you to automate your online
tasks while not connected to CompuServe. This saves a GREAT deal of money. I
personally use a program called TAPCIS (you can download a fully functional
demo version of this by going GO TAPCIS — I believe registration to the full
version is something like $80US). I believe there is an article on off-line
readers in the latest issue of CompuServe magazine (the US edition, anyway).
I'm sure others here can recommend other programs. WinCIM is okay, and I do us
it occasionally when I'm wanting to do some quick interactive searching for a
certain file, etc, but for general forum-following, DEFINITELY get an off-line
reader!
