READCIS.ZIP contains ReadCIS version 1.7.7 and ThreeCIS version 5.4.1  The program and script are complete, but the documentation is unfinished, and help files are not included. ReadCIS installation requires 150kb disk space, of which 85kb is the documentation. Installation on a flash SSD is recommended.

IMPORTANT: CompuServe has two Mail systems. In most cases you will find that your CompuServe Mailbox has been moved to CIS's new Mail system, which ReadCIS cannot use. To fix this...

- Logon to CompuServe with an HMI protocol program such as CompuServe Information Manager;
- GO MAIL and retrieve all pending messages. This is essential, otherwise they will be destroyed;
- GO NPX32 and follow the online prompts to move your mailbox back to the original Mail system.

...you will then be able to send and receive Mail with both CIM and ReadCIS.

INSTALLATION...

ReadCIS installation is slightly different than standard applications, please follow these procedures...

 1) Press <Psion-+> to create an \APP\READCIS directory on the disk where you wish to install ReadCIS. Be certain to include the backslash at the beginning of the name: \APP\READCIS.
 2) Unzip R177541T.ZIP and copy *all* the files to the \APP\READCIS\ subdirectory
 3) Use the Apps | Install command to open the "Install" dialog.
 4) Press <Tab> to use the File Selector.
 5) Use the left or right arrow key to switch to disk with ReadCIS files.
 6) Cursor to \APP\READCIS\, press <Enter>.
 7) Cursor down to "Readcis.opa". Choose carefully, there are many files with similar names.
 8) Press <Enter> twice. The ReadCIS icon will appear.
 9) Press <Enter> to start ReadCIS.
10) Press <Psion-+> to Configure Names.
11) Press <Psion-H> to Read Documentation.
12) Accept the default file _Readcis_ , press <Enter>.
13) The documentation is stored in Psion Data format. The first screen explains how to navigate, or convert it to a text file for reading with your PC word processor or a Psion text viewer, it is too large to open with Psion Word. Please read topics *2.0 through *2.8 for instructions on completing the Names dialogs. After you are familiar with the program you may wish to delete some records and compress the file.  However, please retain a copy of the complete data file for reference. 

If you are using a Series 3a with the Psion PCMCIA adapter you must also copy all the files from the C:\APP\COMMS\ and C:\IMG\ directories to your Psion. These directories are located on the ROM chip built into the 3Link or 3Fax modem. This applies *only* to the Series 3a, not the 3c, and *only* if you are using the PCMCIA adapter.

READ THE FILE "Changes.txt" to understand the changes made between version 1.6 and 1.7, *and* for a description of features that are not included in the main ReadCIS documentation file.
