LAUREL, NJ -- April 9, 1998 -- Creative Systems Programming Corporation is pleased to announce the release of Golden CommPass version 3.0. Golden CommPass is an OS/2 navigation program designed to automate access to the CompuServe Information Service. This new version provides support for CompuServe's Host-Micro Interface (HMI), the New Information Systems Architecture (NISA) Forums and personal addresses (alphanumeric user ids). The Forums notebook has been redesigned for easier use and a customizable, graphical button bar has been added to every window. It is now possible to access up to 200 forums. Native TCP/IP support has been added for users that have a TCP/IP connection to the Internet. Due to time constraints and other factors, Golden CommPass 3.0 will not include a printed manual. Any users interested in a printed manual may contact customer support and express their interest. If there is sufficient demand, a printed manual may be produced at a later time (for an additional charge).
