This  is  the  COMPLETE  and  UNABRIDGED  documentation for the TAPCIS
CompuServe Access Program.
CompuServe is  designed to  be an  interactive communications service.
Using a  terminal, a  caller manually  enters the  account number  and
password.  From  that moment  on, the  CompuServe clock  is running at
$6.00 to $12.50  an hour or  more.  If you  read and reply  while that
meter is running, you are paying CompuServe based on your reading  and
typing speed (which is far slower  I'm sure than the maximum speed  of
your modem!).
TAPCIS automates the  use of CompuServe  and, in the  process, reduces
connect time  to a  minimum.  The  time consuming  tasks of reading or
replying are done using the facilities of your own computer where  the
computer time is free.  This efficiency  can save you a great deal  of
money.  Let's say it takes you 10 minutes to compose a message online;
it might cost you $2 or more.  Prepared offline and sent with  TAPCIS,
the cost might be as low  as 22 cents for the same  message.  Multiply
this by 100 messages over the course of a year (or even a month!)  and
you start to get  a feel for the  savings the automated TAPCIS  system
offers you.  TAP makes it possible for you to actively participate  in
the forum without busting your budget!

PKUNPAK).
This program comes in two parts.  TAPCIS-A.SDN - the system files and
