In particular, you should be familiar with the use of menus, windows, and dialogue boxes and other controls typically used in the Windows environment. You should be able to select items by highlighting them with the arrow keys, or clicking on them with the mouse. You must also have an understanding of the operation of your modem. For more information about the Windows operating system, refer to your Microsoft Windows User Guide. For more information about your modem, refer to the manual that came with your modem. System Requirements GoCIS requires the following minimum hardware and software environment to run acceptably: An IBM PC, PS/2 or 100% compatible computer. A 386/20 CPU chip, (386-33 recommended). At least one floppy disk drive of 1.2MB 5.25" or a 720K 3.5" floppy and a hard disk. At least 4 megabytes or more of RAM. The more RAM you have the better GoCIS will run. Approximately 2 megabytes of free space on your hard disk drive in order to install the complete GoCIS product. If you already have some of the required DLL's the space will be correspondingly less. Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1 running enhanced mode installed on your system. An Asynchronous modem from 1200 - 14400 Baud.
