Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. CompuServe Information Manager (CIM) was CompuServe Information Service's client software. The program provided a GUI front end to the text-based CompuServe service that was at the time accessed using a standard terminal program with alphanumerical shortcuts. Issued at the same time as the GUI-only America Online began to grow in popularity, CIM was available for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows ("WinCIM"), Macintosh ("MacCIM"), and OS/2 ("OS/2-CIM") and allowed access to CompuServe's features, such as its forums, chat, e-mail, and messaging facilities; these continued to be accessible via standard communications software using alphanumeric shortcuts. The first versions were released in around 1990. Version 2.0.1, released in 1994, included a version of the Mosaic web browser.
