- Golden CommPass(TM) 2.1
-
- Thank you for taking the time to look at 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.
-
- Golden CommPass allows you to optimize your time and efficiency in
- accessing many of the services provided on the CompuServe Information
- Service. Specifically, Golden CommPass will make the time that you
- spend using CompuServe mail and the special interest forums
- significantly easier and cost efficient.
-
- The primary design objective of Golden CommPass is to substantially
- reduce the cost of accessing CompuServe mail and CompuServe forums,
- while completely automating the tedious task of searching for and
- retrieving information.
-
- This objective is accomplished by first downloading messages and
- subjects from CompuServe forums, and then, at one's convenience,
- selecting those subjects (message threads) which are of interest.
- Golden CommPass will automatically carry out your request to retrieve
- that information. While this online session is in progress, there is
- no need to sit and stare at the messages scrolling by at high speeds.
- Instead, you can be comfortably reading messages and composing
- responses on other forums, at your leisure, or using other
- applications. You will no longer need to worry about your monthly
- connect-time bills or your long distance telephone bills, because you
- can compose messages offline, at your own pace.
-
- Of course, at any time while composing a message, you can save what
- you have already written (using either OS/2's clipboard, or by saving
- the message to a temporary file). You can control what you do and
- when you do it. When the online session has completed, you can read
- those messages as well. There is no limit to the possibilities.
-
- In addition to automating access to the forum message area and data
- libraries, Golden CommPass provides complete support for all the
- CompuServe mail facilities, including binary file transfer, MCI mail,
- worldwide facsimile transmissions, Internet, Telex and postal.
- Additional facilities are provided to enhance the capabilities of
- CompuServe mail, such as attaching data files to a message and using
- mailing groups or lists.
-
- To use this demonstration version, you will need a CompuServe User ID
- and password. If you do not already have a User ID and password, you
- can obtain an introductory membership kit from CompuServe by calling
- (800) 524-3388 (or (617) 457-0802 inside Ohio or outside of the United
- States and Canada) and asking for representative #239.
-
- Creative Systems Programming Corporation is making this special
- demonstration version of Golden CommPass available to those users that
- are interested in experimenting with a native OS/2 application for
- accessing the CompuServe Information Service
-
- 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 is not shareware. This demonstration program contains all 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, as well as the PRACTICE and GCPSUPPORT forums. In addition,
- this demonstration version will not allow you to send or retrieve
- CompuServe mail. This demonstration program has been designed to work
- differently or stop working 30 days after the first use.
-
-
- Technical Support
-
- All technical support for the demonstration version of Golden CommPass
- is provided on the Golden CommPass Support Forum on CompuServe (GO
