QuickCIS, the CompuServe online automator
            -----------------------------------------

     This text file is designed to help you choose whether or not  the 
program QuickCIS (filename QWKCIS.TOS) would be of any use to you,  as 
a CompuServe subscriber.

1)  Do you call CIS more than once per week,  or would you like to  be 
able to?

2)  Does your phone company have discounted rates at certain times  of 
the evening, which would make your online time cheaper?

3) Are there more areas of CompuServe than you can reasonably  attempt 
to visit on a regular basis - but you wish you could?

4) Do you think that there are many programs, utilities, applications, 
etc,  available  on CompuServe that you are not even aware of  due  to 
lack of time to search for them?

5) Do you sometimes find files on CIS that would be useful,  but  hate 
the idea of sitting in front of the screen downloading them all?

6)  Do  you have problems using your ST (or for that matter  your  TV, 
audio equipment, wash machine or car), and wish you had a ready source 
of useful information from experienced users?

7) Do you regularly send FAX, MCI MAIL, or USENET mail?

8)  Have  you  had any reason to complain or rave  to  a  hardware  or 
software supplier about their product?


     If you have answered YES to any of the above,  then QuickCIS  can 
help you better use your time on CompuServe.

     QuickCIS  can  be  set  up easily to  call  CompuServe  for  you, 
checking for any Compuserve Mail (email), and travelling to as many as 
six  CIS forums.   While in each forum,  QuickCIS will  read  messages 
(there  are dozens of ways to limit which messages are read),  and  go 
into  up  to  7 Libraries within the  forum.   Within  the  Libraries, 
QuickCIS  can  capture a list of newly uploaded  files,  and  download 
those  files you have previously tagged.   Once all chosen forums  and 
libraries have been visited, QuickCIS logs off.

     At  your leisure,  you can then read all the data  that  QuickCIS 
captured  for  you.   You  can use the built-in  editor  to  reply  to 
EasyPlex and forum messages,  or even initiate new topics.  After each 
forum  message  section  has been read,  the  file  descriptions  from 
visited libraries are displayed.  If you find a file you like, you can 
tag it for downloading.

     Messages you create are posted next time you call.   Tagged files 
are downloaded at the same time.

     If  you currently spend what you consider to be too much time  on 
CompuServe,  you  will find that doing the same tasks costs  you  less 
than 10 minutes of online time per day,  using QuickCIS.   Or,  if you 
don't mind the time you are currently taking online, you can spend the 
same amount of online time doing much MORE, with the help of QuickCIS.

     Additional features:  QuickCIS can make a delayed call, at a time 
you set,  to  take  advantage  of  low phone rates.  QuickCIS can store
multiple  configurations,  allowing  you  to  pick  and   choose   your
destinations for each call.  QuickCIS can create a library  of previous
messages,  so that you  can  store  them for  later  reference - either
store all of them,  or  pick  and  choose  which messages get stored to
your library.   QuickCIS works at  300/1200/2400  or  9600bps,  and  on
color,  mono,  and  oversize  monitors.  Current  versions  of QuickCIS
are freeware.  Doesn't cost you a penny, tosave bucks on CompuServe.
