- Introduction:
- =============
- Thank you for your interest in the CompuServe Information Manager(tm) for
- OS/2 - CIM for OS/2 (tm).
-
- A rich context-sensitive Help feature can be accessed from any area of CIM
- for OS/2 by hitting the F1 key.
-
- You can obtain information on the current status of CIM for OS/2 and
- additional release information by accessing the GO OS2CIM area on CompuServe.
-
- You can also obtain help and support through the CIM for OS/2 Support Forum
- (GO OCIMSUPPORT). This forum is devoted to CIM for OS/2 and is staffed by
- representatives from CompuServe's Customer Service department. This area is
- also free of connect charges.
-
-
- Release Notes:
- ==============
- The new filing cabinet provided in this release of CIM for OS/2 contains a
- full-text search option and stores the records in a database type format.
- The full-text searching can be accessed by selecting Mail > Search Filing
- cabinet from the pull-down menu.
-
- Should you care to have multiple filing cabinets or if your filing cabinet
- database becomes corrupted, the filing cabinet database is accessible and
- uncompressed on the install disk set. You can copy the file FCABINET.CIF
- from the install disk set over a corrupted filing cabinet or into a separate
- directory on your hard drive. The directory information for which filing
- cabinet is currently being accessed is stored in the Filing Cabinet directory
- field under the Directories tab in Preferences.
-
- CIM for OS/2 may not correctly display extended characters stored by a
- previous version of CIM due to the Latin-1 support provided in OS/2
- (examples : å ë í " ù - this was written with code page 437).
- CIM for OS/2 stores all information locally using the local Latin-1 code page.
- Since the Windows and OS/2 code pages differ slightly, some extended
- characters may not appear correctly when using files created by other CIM
- products. This will affect all support file including the filing cabinet and
- address book.
-
-
- Known Problems:
- ===============
- During the final review of CIM for OS/2, we have uncovered a few minor
- problems that we hope will not affect your enjoyment of the product.
- They are as follows:
-
- o The filing cabinet server will sometimes leave 0 byte temporary files in
- the \CSERVE\OS2-CIM directory (IO????.TMP) if the server crashes or is
- shut down improperly. These files are unnecessary after you have exited
- CIM for OS/2 and can be deleted.
-
- o When retrieving large volumes of forum messages, the section count will
- reset to one when CIM for OS/2 fetches more message summaries from the
- host. This is only a cosmetic issue and all of the marked messages will
- be retrieved.
-
- o There are some cases when you select to delete a forum message while in
- particular forum that CIM for OS/2 will delete the message locally from
- the filing cabinet instead of from the CompuServe host. If you re-enter
- the forum and select to delete the message again, it will properly be
- deleted from the host.
-
- o Paste From an ENS story in the filing cabinet does not work properly.
- If you need to paste from and ENS story, you can open up the story from
- the filing cabinet and cut and paste the text into a mail message using
- the Cut and Paste functions from the Edit pulldown.
-
- o Setting the message date back in a forum after reading your all of your
- waiting messages will not properly disable the waiting messages icon.
-
- o Viewing a GIF file from your hard drive while in some areas (ie. Maps)
- will cause the send/receive lights to appear unnecessarily.
-
- o When browsing messages in a forum, the message display dialog will not
- initially have focus.
-
- o Setting the message date in a forum to sometime in the future will cause
- a single message to appear when there should be zero.
-
- o When two modal dialogs are on the screen, you can set focus on the first
- modal dialog although none of the controls will be activated.
-
- o When you have no private folders when you enter the ENS (Executive News
- Service) area, no dialog will have focus.
-
- o Canceling a Membership Sign-up will cause the billing type field to revert
- back to VISA.
-
- If you encounter any other problems, please let us know by posting a forum
- message addressed to SYSOP in the CIM for OS/2 Support Forum (GO OCIMSUPPORT).
- This area is free of connect charges.
