- Thank you for ordering the CompuServe Information Manager for Windows -
- WinCIM(sm).
-
- Although a brief manual is included with this version, a rich context-
- sensitive Help feature can also be accessed from any area of WinCIM
- by hitting the F1 key.
-
- You can obtain information on the current status of WinCIM by accessing
- the GO WINCIM area on CompuServe. This area contains information
- related to the status of WinCIM. You can also obtain help and support
- through the WinCIM Support Forum (GO WCIMSUPPORT). This forum is
- devoted to WinCIM and is staffed by representatives from CompuServe's
- Customer Service department.
-
- WinCIM 1.0 Information:
-
- * An electronic version of the CompuServe Directory, which provides a
- summary description of each of the more than 1,700 services on
- CompuServe, is available from the WinCIM Help pulldown menu. Once
- you find a service you are interested in, just click on the Service Name
- and WinCIM will "GO" to that service.
-
- * Two special features on the edit pulldown menu, "Copy To" and "Paste
- From," make it easy to compose mail and forum messages using text from
- online articles, messages already in the member's in basket or filing
- cabinet, or from text files on the member's disk.
-
- * A "Copy Original" button on the CompuServe Mail envelope (recipent
- list) can be used when replying to Mail messages. This features allows
- you to send your reply to everyone on the original distribution list.
-
- * WinCIM "looks" at the text in menus and articles and determines if the
- data is column data. If WinCIM detects that the information contains
- column data, it will switch into a fixed font (so the information will
- line up properly). You can switch between the fixed and proportional
- font by choosing the "Fixed Font" option from the Edit pulldown menu (or
- you can use Cntrl-T).
-
- * Special features in WinCIM can be accessed by modifying items in
- the WINCIM.INI file. See the file WC-INI.TXT in the WinCIM Support
- Forum (GO WCIMSUPPORT) for additional details.
-
- * Users of V32/V42 modems should turn off their modem's error correction
- (unless you use WinCIM's terminal emulation frequently and are
- experiencing bad phone connections). This will allow you to get better
- data throughput. How to disable your modem's error correction should be
- documented in your modem manual.
-
- * 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 WC-8BIT.TXT in the "General" Library
- of the WinCIM Support Forum (GO WCIMSUPPORT).
-
-
- Known limitations of WinCIM Version 1.0.1:
-
- * The WinCIM ribbon (button bar at the top of the window) has changed
- slightly from the one shown in the documentation. There is now a "Browse
- Services" button on the ribbon. The Mail button now only appears if
- there is mail waiting for you (to signal you have mail waiting).
- Once you are online, a "disconnect" button will also appear.
-
- * The Portfolio report that is included in DOS CIM 2.0 is not currently
- implemented. This feature is scheduled for implementation after the
- release of version 1.0.
-
- * The Favorite Places information is always maintained in alphabetical
- order.
-
- * Mail messages placed in the outbasket can not be sent by DOS CIM.
-
- * DOS CIM's "%" syntax for address book sorting is not supported.
