TAPMARK (v1.43) by Korenthal Associates REGISTRATION ($25.00) TAPMARK is an intelligent thread marking program to be used instead of the TAPCIS "M" command. If used properly, TAPMARK can save you gobs of time and enhance your enjoyment of CIS and TAPCIS. The full value of TAPMARK cannot be realized unless it is run for at least three or four CompuServe sessions, allowing the program to accumulate enough information to be truly useful. Using the "Global preferences" capability (to specify keywords of interest or non-interest) will allow you to derive additional benefit from TAPMARK. TAPMARK will save you time by performing the following functions: 1. Consolidate multiple threads with the same subject name (you only have to mark the subject name once). Note that subject names are case-insensitive for consolidation and sorting purposes. 2. Pre-mark threads which: a) contain messages addressed to you (this guarantees that you'll see all your messages in context). b) you've read in a previous CIS session. c) are in a section in which you've expressed interest. d) contain a keyword in which you've expressed interest. 3. Pre-unmark (allow quick bypass of threads) which: a) contain only one message to you which TAPCIS has already read. b) you've bypassed in a previous CIS session. c) contain a keyword in which you've expressed a lack of interest. TAPMARK will work on a system which runs any version of TAPCIS. 140K free memory is required, so if you run TAPMARK by shelling to DOS with TAPCIS' Ctrl-F1 command, you should have at least 400K free before running TAPCIS. If you don't have 400K free, you can always run TAPMARK by exiting TAPCIS, running TAPMARK, and then reentering TAPCIS.
