Roger, Pat and all METS and ETS….and all you educators out there… I just unzipped and installed a new windows compuserve access program called WINCIS. Similar to ATO, but very graphical. It's from the WUGNET forum (Windows User Group network). This thing is FANTASTIC! Roger, you must add it to your collection. I know you like Windows and graphical access and you will positively LOVE this one! I just started experimenting with it (I have an Internet and Cserve communication class this week and next week), and I like it! Will play with it over the weekend, and get back with more info. Try it out! Mark K.

Mark… I've switched to the WinCIS also…..but are you using it "instead" of ATO?? I've not dug deep enough to set up any auto features it has. I reall..really…really like the GUI though…eh?? Hit Return…Bill Elliott

You can get WINCIS by downloading it from GO WINCIM here on CompuServe. There was a remark that it was Beta, but I had thought it had gone past that to "official" release. Reports from others who've used the Beta said it was excellent. Yet, I'm still using DOS CIM (sorry 'bout that!). Nik

Nik, (and Paul) A small correction … you get WinCis from GO WUGNET; (GO WINCIM will get you WinCim … the names probably shouldn't be so similar). BTW, it _is_ still in beta, but available to anyone who wants to download it. It's still evolving. There's only cursory documentation available right now, so it take a little experimenting to find all the features. John

John, thanks for the correction. I was thinking of WINCIM. Nik

PMJI, but I just saw an ad in teh new issue of CIS Mag for NavCIS by John Dvorzak's company, in GUI DOS and Windows versions. They're downloadable from somewhere on line. Dave
