CompuServe Messages

Henri: Well, to save you a pile of guilders (I'm guessing here, its been a while since I was in your country, I've forgotten the monetary system 🙁 ) I would offer a couple of suggestions: NavCIS is pretty slick and pretty quick, I've settled on this one after trying several. If you go DVORAK they have a downloadable version stored in their library which you could try out now. Other scriptable downloaders include CSnav, OZwin, TapCIS and GoCIS. They all pretty much work the same way and are all downloadable from Compuserve. You set up which forums you wish to visit, which sections of the forums from which you wish to get messages and with a single mouse click you can have your computer logon to Compuserve, grab your mail, send outgoing mail, logon to several forums, grab messages from each one, send messages to each one, download/upload files and then logoff. This allows you to read and respond to all messages offline and save you all of that connect time and cut down your phone bill (I've heard that in areas of Europe that there can be a cost involved for calling the nearest Compuserve phone number). Also, you can use WinCim in an 'autopilot' mode but I don't think this is officially documented. Maybe someone here can offer the trick to this one. It won't give you all of the features of the packages mentioned above but would still save you some money. Again, welcome to AMMEDIA. – Bob Ritger
