- Important WinCIM Information:
-
- * If you are upgrading from WinCIM version 1.0.5 (or earlier) AND
- you have the "^" character in your password, you will need to
- respecify your password the very first time you use WinCIM 1.1.
- You only need to do this IF you have the password stored in your
- session settings.
-
- * 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 pull down 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.
-
- * 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).
-
- * WinCIM is shipped with a mono-spaced font that can be used when using
- WinCIM's terminal emulation mode. This font (Monospaced 821) can be
- installed through the Windows Control Panel and it will then be available
- for use in WinCIM. You can find this font in the c:\cserve\wincim
- directory.
-
- The default "Terminal" font can be changed in WinCIM by accessing the
- "General Preferences" dialog and clicking on the "Fonts" button.
-
- * Sounds (.WAV files) can now be associated with WinCIM events (i.e.
- connecting, file transfer completion, etc.). Sounds can be added and
- removed through the sound module in the Windows Control Panel.
-
- The WinCIM install procedure does not overwrite any existing sounds that
- may already be defined in the WIN.INI file. If WinCIM made changes to the
- WIN.INI file, the original file was backed up and named WININI.CIM.
