FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TAPCIS/PM PROVIDES AN OS/2 PRESENTATION MANAGER
INTERFACE FOR COMPUSERVE
McHENRY, Maryland, June 25, 1991--The TAPCIS(tm) automated
program for accessing the CompuServe Information Service is now
available with an OS/2 Presentation Manager interface. TAPCIS/PM takes
full advantage of OS/2's multi-threading capability and Presentation
Manager's graphical user interface to make accessing CompuServe Mail
and Forums easy and cost effective.
TAPCIS/PM includes all of the DOS version's features that allow
CompuServe users to read, type, and think offline while charges are not
mounting. It can index and view multiple message files simultaneously.
The built-in editor allows users to ask questions and participate in forum
discussions and private mail without learning CompuServe commands.
All CompuServe delivery methods are supported--private mail, binary
files, return receipts, worldwide FAX, laser printed postal letters, Telex,
and gateways to MCI Mail, Internet, and others. Message forwarding,
replying, saving, and printing are included as well as new features such
as full "threading" of original messages and replies, bookmarks, and a
view of forum sections and subjects that lets the user select any message
at which to begin reading.
TAPCIS/PM is an ideal way for OS/2 users to access the new
IBMOS2 Forum on CompuServe. In addition to the message management
features, TAPCIS/PM also includes file libraries where the user can
choose which files to download from the CompuServe libraries. Once
chosen from the library catalog, the files are downloaded automatically
at maximum speed and with no user intervention. TAPCIS/PM can also
prepare scripts for uploading files to CompuServe forums.
TAPCIS/PM provides a complete replacement to the character
based user interface of TAPCIS for DOS. This interface is compliant with
IBM's System Application Architecture (SAA) and conforms to the
specifications for Common User Access (CUA). TAPCIS/PM provides a
seamless interface to TAPCIS by switching to the DOS compatibility
mode of OS/2 to send and receive messages and files from CompuServe.
TAPCIS/PM has a retail price of $99 and comes with a 90-day,
no risk, money back guarantee and an Introductory Membership Kit for
CompuServe with user ID, password, and $15 of free connect time. Toll
free support and online help through the TAPCIS Forum (GO TAPCIS)
are also available. Existing TAPCIS for DOS users can add TAPCIS/PM
for $40. TAPCIS/PM includes a license for TAPCIS for DOS so that
customers can take advantage of TAPCIS features even if they use the
dual boot feature of OS/2 or travel with a non-OS/2 compatible laptop.
TAPCIS/PM was developed by Creative Systems Programming
Corporation of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. It is published by Support Group,
Inc. For more information call (800) 872-4768 or (301) 387-4500.
