- Thank you for your interest in the CompuServe Information Manager(tm)
- for Windows - WinCIM(r).
-
-
- Installation Information:
-
- - The WinCIM install process will not overwrite existing sounds defined
- in the WIN.INI file. If the WIN.INI file is updated during setup the
- original WIN.INI file will be saved as WININI.CIM.
-
- - If you are upgrading from WinCIM version 1.0.5 (or earlier)
- AND you have the "^" character in your password, you will
- need to re-enter your password the very first time you
- use WinCIM v1.4. You only need to do this if you have the
- password stored in your session settings.
-
-
- Support Information:
-
- - A context-sensitive Help feature can be accessed from any area of
- WinCIM by hitting the F1 key.
-
- - Go WINCIM to find WinCIM specific information (i.e., a program
- description, system requirements, product features, ordering,
- downloading, and support).
-
- - Go WCIMSUPPORT to get on-line Customer Support from the WinCIM
- Support Forum, staffed by senior CompuServe Customer Support
- representatives.
-
-
- Miscellaneous Information:
-
- - WinCIM no longer attempts to determine if the text in menus
- and articles is column data. This type of data should be displayed
- using a fixed font. If you are presented with column data that is
- not lined up properly, switch to a fixed font by pressing Ctrl-T.
- To toggle between a fixed font and a proportional font press Ctrl-T.
-
- - International keyboard characters (ISO Latin-1) can be used in
- WinCIM. This capability allows WinCIM users to send CompuServe
- Mail and Forum messages that contain international characters.
- There are some known limitations to using these characters.
- For additional information about this topic, see the file
- WC8BIT.TXT in the "General" Library of the WinCIM Support Forum
- (GO WCIMSUPPORT).
-
- - Sounds (.WAV files) can be associated with WinCIM events (i.e.
- connecting, file transfer completion, etc.). Sounds can be added
- and removed through the Sounds module in the Windows Control Panel.
-
-
- New Features in this Version:
-
- - You can enjoy interacting with CompuServe Hypertext documents.
- Documents full of color, fonts, graphics, and hot links are available
- on CompuServe. You may read them on-line or save them in the filing
- cabinet to read later. (Go ESM for a sample.)
-
- - Use your current Internet network configuration to connect to
- CompuServe Information Service using the new Window's Sockets
- (WinSock) support. All of the most popular WinSock-compatible
- Internet connection mechanisms can be used to connect to CIS,
- whether they are TCP/IP or PPP dial-up capable.
-
- - Telnet to your favorite Internet hosts using full VT100 terminal
- emulation. Additionally, toggle between full VT100 and CIS (partial)
- VT100 terminal emulation modes with a single click.
-
- - Windows file associations are used to view downloaded files. For
- example, you can use File Open to automatically view an Acrobat
- file using the Acrobat viewer. In addition, other applications can
- be run automatically upon request by the user or the CompuServe host,
- allowing for robust new application integration with new client
- software.
-
-
- - You may participate in a moderated conference using a graphical user
- interface from the new CompuServe Conference Center (Go CCC).
