Hi, I just started using an amiga (3000) after 3 years of having a mac. For
cmpu$sevve on the mac I used both CIM and NAvigator. are there equivalent
programs for the amiga? If so, Where can I find them? Thanks in advance for
the help Paul
I've heard AutoPilot makes it rather painless (and a bit cheaper) to use
CServe… although not having 2.0, I can't actually verify that… Judging from
the number of "AutoPilot" taglines however, I'd say it works rather well.
There is a demo version of Autopilot in the Autopilot section of
AmigaVendor (library 9). You need the files APdocs.lha and AP.lha. These
files are compressed with LHA, you need the file lha38.run which is here
in AmigaUser. When you have all these files, do the following: LHA is a
self-extracting file, just open a shell, "cd" to the directory where you
have it, and type "lha38.run". When lha extracts, copy the lha file to
the "c:" directory, and then type "lha x apdocs.lha" and then lha x
ap.lha. After reading the docs and getting it set up, you can find lots
of other useful stuff over in the Autopilot section of AmigaVendor,
including compliled catalogs of the Amiga forum files. Give a shout if
you need any help.

-Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!
There is a program similar in function to the new Win CIS NAV (or whatever
their calling it today). AutoPilot is a commercial program that automates
your CIS sessions, catologing, up/downloading, messaging, mail, etc. Saves
you a ton of $$ compared to WinCIM. It even has message HISTORY files that
track stuff you've already read… limited only by your disk space.
You'll find a demo version (good for Email and the Amiga Forums) in
library 9 of AmigaVendor Forum (GO AMIGAV). You'll need to download the
porgram archive (AP.LHA) and the documentation archive (APDOCS.LHA). Both
of these archives require LHA ti unpack, which can be downloaded from here
in library 16 of AmigaUser (LHA138.RUN).
