If you don't use TAPCIS for e-mail, I would strongly suggest that you do
(GO TAPCIS). First of all, it saves the e-mail as text files, not as
proprietary format files that DOSCIM does, and secondly, it can do a lot
more, a lot easier than DOSCIM. For the very rare times that I now access
Compuserve Fora, I use DOSCIM, except for those few areas that are still
accessable to TEXT based comm programs.
