Golden CommPass 2.0E
Thank you for trying this special demonstration version of Golden CommPass.
Golden CommPass is the ONLY CompuServe navigation program that is specifically
designed to work in conjunction with OS/2.
Creative Systems Programming Corporation is making this special demonstration
version of Golden CommPass(tm) available to CompuServe Information Service
users that are interested in experimenting with a native OS/2 application for
accessing CompuServe.
We hope that by making this demonstration version available, you will be able
to evaluate the usefulness of a completely automatic OS/2 CompuServe navigation
program. The evaluation period for this program is limited to 30 days.
This demonstration program contains all of the features of the complete Golden
CommPass program, except that it has been limited to accessing CompuServe
forums that begin with either IBM or OS2.
If you find this program useful, and wish to order Golden CommPass, you can
press the ORDER pushbutton on the Golden CommPass logo screen, select the

Installation
This special demonstration version of Golden CommPass is distributed as a
single self-extracting PKZIP file. The name of the file is COMPAS.EXE.
When you run this program, the files listed below will be created. All of these
files are required for the proper execution of Golden CommPass.
COMMPASS.EXE Golden CommPass Message Reader Program
COMMPASS.DLL Common Dynamic Link Library
COMMPCOM.DLL Communications Engine
COMMPCIS.DLL CompuServe Scripts
COMMPASS.HLP Message Reader help
COMMPCOM.HLP Communications Engine help
COMMPASS.INI Initialization file (for customization)
CONFIG.SCR CompuServe configuration script
In addition, the following files containing Golden CommPass documentation and
information will be created.
SOFTWARE.USE Golden CommPass software usage agreement
README.MSG Additional info on the offline message reader
READCOMM.MSG Additional info on the communications engine
COMMPASS.DOC Complete Documentation for Golden CommPass
Finally, several script files (*.SCR) have been included to customize the
Golden CommPass sign on process if you are signing onto CompuServe through an
external network.
These programs should be copied to a separate directory on your hard disk.
Dynamic Link Libraries
After you have decompressed these files (by executing each one from the OS/2
command prompt), you need to make sure that the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL)
are properly installed and OS/2 can locate them.
There are 3 DLLs that must be installed in a directory pointed to by the OS/2
LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS. You may want to consider adding .; to
the beginning of your LIBPATH statement. This will force OS/2 to search the
current directory for the DLL first. For example:
LIBPATH=.;\OS2\DLL ...
Golden CommPass Initialization File
The COMMPASS.INI file should be placed in the same directory as COMMPASS.EXE,
however, the DPATH environment variable will also be searched to locate this
file.
Golden CommPass Help File
The COMMPASS.HLP file should also be placed in the same directory as
COMMPASS.EXE, The HELP environment variable will also be searched to locate
this file.
We hope you enjoy your Golden CommPass trial run!
