NavCIS

NavCIS

NavCIS, originally known as CompuServe Navigator, is a client program which was used to automate connections to the CompuServe Information Service at a time when online use was priced by the minute. It was available for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows as a GUI on both.

NavCIS was one of the first e-mail and forum clients to feature WYSIWYG e-mail in the early 1990s.

For a while, a Macintosh version called 'CompuServe Navigator' was also available, which fulfilled the same function. It ran on MacOS 4.1 up to 7.1, and made it to at least version 3.2. [1]
