- Thank you for your interest in the CompuServe Information Manager(tm)
- for Windows - WinCIM(r).
-
- A context-sensitive Help feature can 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.
-
-
- New features in WinCIM 1.3.1:
-
- - Simple Mail attachments have been implemented. This feature is similar to
- "Send File" with the exception that now a text message can be associated
- with the file being sent. The recipient(s) will receive two messages with
- the same subject. One will contain the message text the other will contain
- the information about the file.
-
- - NCSI/NASI Support has been added to support connection to CompuServe via
- a LAN server configuration. This new feature will not be apparent unless
- you have NCSI/NASI drivers installed on your PC.
-
- - "Copy To" functionality has been enhanced to include the ability to copy
- via the clipboard to a MAPI message store. This feature will enable a
- user to copy selected text directly to a mail message generated from a mail
- client that is MAPI compliant (e.g. Microsoft Mail). Note, you will not
- see this feature unless you have a MAPI mail application.
-
- - Significant bugs have been fixed.
-
-
- Additional WinCIM Information:
-
- - All of the new features have been documented via the on-line help files.
- Manuals will be updated after the next major release.
-
- - If you are upgrading from WinCIM version 1.0.5 (or earlier)
- AND you have the "^" character in your password, you will
- need to re-enter your password the very first time you
- use WinCIM 1.3.1. 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).
-
- - 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 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.
