Introduction:
=============
Thank you for your interest in the CompuServe Information Manager(tm) for 
OS/2 - CIM for OS/2 (tm).

A rich context-sensitive Help feature can be accessed from any area of CIM 
for OS/2 by hitting the F1 key or by selecting the Help icon on the
ribbon bar.

You can obtain information on the current status of CIM for OS/2 and 
additional release information by accessing the GO OS2CIM area on CompuServe.

You can also obtain help and support through the CIM for OS/2 Support Forum 
(GO OCIMSUPPORT).  This forum is devoted to CIM for OS/2 and is staffed by 
representatives from CompuServe's Customer Service department.  This area is
also free of connect charges.

Release Notes:
==============
The new filing cabinet provided in this release of CIM for OS/2 contains a 
full-text search option and stores the records in a database type format.
The full-text searching can be accessed by selecting Mail > Search Filing 
cabinet from the pull-down menu.   

CIM for OS/2 may not correctly display extended characters stored by a 
previous version of CIM due to the Latin-1 support provided in OS/2 
(examples : † ‰ ¡ " — ). CIM for OS/2 stores all information locally 
using the local Latin-1 code page. Since the Windows and OS/2 code pages 
differ slightly, some extended characters may not appear correctly when 
using files created by other CIM products.  This will affect all support 
file including the filing cabinet and address book.

Filing Cabinet Loader (FCLOADER):
=================================

This is a utility program that can import a WinCIM, DOSCIM, or CSNav style 
filing cabinet to a full-text searchable database filing cabinet. The new
filing cabinet is contained in two files; FCABINET.CIF and FOLDERS.DAT.
FOLDERS.DAT contains the names of all of your folders.  FCABINET.CIF holds
all of the messages that you store in the filing cabinet.  WinCIM, DOSCIM and 
CSNav will still be able to read their filing cabinets, but will not be able 
to read CIM for OS/2's filing cabinet.  The installation procedure shall
prompt you to import your filing cabinet if no FCABINET.CIF file was located
in your filing cabinet directory in the install location.

If you were not given the opportunity to import WinCIM, DOSCIM, or CSNav
filing cabinets during the installation process,  you may do so later by
manually running the FCLOADER utility.


Known Problems:
===============
During the final review of CIM for OS/2, we have uncovered a few minor 
problems that we hope will not affect your enjoyment of the product.

They are as follows:

o When retrieving large volumes of forum messages, the section count will
  reset to one when CIM for OS/2 fetches more message summaries from the
  host.  This is only a cosmetic issue and all of the marked messages will
  be retrieved.

o There are some cases when you select to delete a forum message while in
  particular forum that CIM for OS/2 will delete the message locally from
  the filing cabinet instead of from the CompuServe host.  If you re-enter
  the forum and select to delete the message again, it will properly be
  deleted from the host.

o Setting the message date back in a forum after reading all of your
  waiting messages will not properly disable the waiting messages icon.

o Viewing a GIF file from your hard drive while in some areas (ie. Maps)
  will cause the send/receive lights to appear unnecessarily.

o Canceling a Membership Sign-up will cause the billing type field to revert
  back to VISA.

If you encounter any other problems, please let us know by posting a forum
message addressed to SYSOP in the CIM for OS/2 Support Forum (GO OCIMSUPPORT).
