Have a good trip to Scotland! I've been reading quite a lot about ancient Scotland, lately--a book tracing the "real history" of King Arthur, who, according to the author, was based largely in the area between the two Roman walls, with his primary seat at Carlisle. Lancelot, according to this book, was in reality a King Anguselus (whose name translated to Old French as L'Anselot) whose kingdom was in the vicinity of Edinburgh and Stirling. --Lindsey |

Frankly, though, if you have another e-mail account you can use, I think you're much better off at this point using that rather than CompuServe. Without a good spam filtering system, CompuServe mail has become all but unusable. --Lindsey |

If that is not the case then there might be few or no messages in your TAPCIS installation to scan for the names and email addresses of your correspondents to notify them of your new address, etc. Of course, if you actually have to re-install TAPCIS even to have any TAPCIS software to run on your computer, then the INBOX in TAPCIS would initially be EMPTY and the ONLY messages you might be able to access would be those still remaining to be downloaded from your Classic Compuserve account. However, if you DO have some TAPCIS message files stored on some disks (e.g. floppies, CD's, etc.) then it would be possible to read those message files on a different installation of TAPCIS from that installation on which the messages were originally received from Compuserve. If this is the situation that you are in, it is highly likely that Lindsey or somebody else in this forum would be able to help you further. I don't have TAPCIS installed on my computer any more. I don't subscribe to Compuserve any more. But I sure did like the TAPCIS program when I was a Compuserve Classic user. Hope that helps. David H. not a sysop ;) |

What I did when I was ready to close my CServe account completely was open MAIL.MSG in Tapcis and then isolate the last 120 days worth of mail (use the View function to set the dates). Then I simply did a copy-and-paste of any relevant email addresses and sent a single email to everyone on that list advising them of the change of address.

Old, old, real old, school here; still @compuserve.com

Oh! Of course; I misunderstood his question. For some reason, I thought he was asking how to open the file.

Once I developed my own website, there just wasn't any reason to keep the compuserve email address, Jeff, especially since all I ever got at that address was spam.

hey, above brought up an interesting question: how many of us still use TAPCIS for mail actually? how many on a daily basis, how many mails/day, how many just occasionally?
wondering if this question will be read here, or if it should be moved to another section to get solid answers. are there any estimates, or educated guesses, how many people still use TAPCIS out there that might NOT be members here? greetings - heinz - |
We don't have any way of knowing, Heinz. We certainly tried to reach everyone we knew of who had any connection with Tapcis in the weeks before this forum opened, to replace the one CServe closed. But since there are no cookies left and no continuing registration fees, it's anybody's guess.

well, any chance of finding out by putting this question up front where everybody would read it? your move.
or ''any educated guesses''? from you, lindsey, jeff , and the many others in the know? is there any listing or voting feature on the forum for things like this? in find it intriguing ... and most interesting. you dont? greetings - heinz - |

If you still have an account, you might post such a question in a forum such as the adult intimate chat forum (maybe that was not the actual name). Perhaps someone in the Classic support forum or perhaps Matt (sysop in practice forum) would know answer to such questions? (web view forums) David H. |
