Welcome to TAPCIS 6.0! To get to this point, you must have extracted the
individual TAPCIS programs and files from either TAPTRY.EXE or TAP.EXE.
Congratulations! And thank you for reading this README file. We'll keep it
short so you can get going with TAPCIS 6.0 itself.
GETTING STARTED ---
If you have the printed manual, turn now to the Quick Start chapter on
page 1-3, "Running TAPCIS" and begin the set up of the program. This
chapter also covers installing TAPCIS as an icon in Windows.
If you do not have the printed manual, you will want to print out the
Quick Start (QKSTART.DOC) and Overview (OVERVIEW.DOC) chapters. These
chapters can be loaded as ASCII text into any word processor or text
editor and then printed. Or, you can use the DOS "PRINT" command (e.g.,
PRINT QKSTART.DOC).
If these files are not in your TAPCIS directory, you will need to
download and "expand" (by executing) the file TAPDOC.EXE from Library
1/TAPCIS of the CIS:TAPCIS Forum.
Once you have the Quick Start documentation available to you, execute
TAPCIS 6.0 according to the directions. From DOS, if you installed TAPCIS
in the C:\TAP directory, these commands would be:
C:
CD \TAP
TAPCIS6
See the file ORDER.TAP for more information on ordering TAPCIS, a printed
manual and disk, and/or an Extended Service Plan. You may order the
printed manual and disk from us even if you have not licensed TAPCIS, if
that will assist you in your evaluation.
Remember that TAPCIS offers context-sensitive help by pressing [F1].
SUPPORT ---
Technical support for TAPCIS is available around the clock, every day of
the year, from the TAPCIS Forum on CompuServe (GO CIS:TAPCIS). From the
forum, you can get technical support *for* TAPCIS *using* TAPCIS. After
all, the purpose of TAPCIS is for you to be able to tap into the support
resources available online, and we want to help teach you how this is
done.
If you can send and receive CompuServe Mail but cannot use the TAPCIS
Forum, you may send your technical support question to Support Group
74020,10 (Internet: TAPCIS@cis.compuserve.com). However, if you are able
to use the forum, we request that you do so. You will find that you get
faster response, around the clock, by posting a public forum message to
"All." We have many sysops, as well as fellow forum members, who are
likely to know the answer to your question, and that answer may help
others.
NOTE: Telephone support is available only to Extended Service Plan
members when they are: unable to connect to CompuServe to get support
from the forum, or in "911 Emergency" situations. If you need telephone
support, but have not yet purchased an Extended Service Plan, you can
purchase the plan when you call for support.
If you are in the process of evaluating TAPCIS, and need telephone
support, you can choose from one of these two options:
1) Call us and purchase TAPCIS and the Extended Service Plan, and
then get telephone support. Remember that we offer a 90-day money back
guarantee, so this method is risk-free for you.
2) Ask for per-minute technical support. Our fee for this service is
$3/minute (charged to a major credit card), and you can use the toll free
number 1-800-872-4768 (within the U.S.) or the international number +1-
301-387-4500. There is no minimum charge (which makes this a reasonable
choice for very quick questions), and you are not charged for the time it
takes to record your billing information. This option is also available
to registered customers who do not wish to purchase the Extended Service
Plan.
