SYNOPSIS -------- FORSEC.ARC is a complete list of all public forums as of March 1, 1994. The listing is in alphabetical order by Forum Name/Description, for the most part. I have taken a few liberties to keep related forums grouped together. Following each forum name is the Gateway prefix and GO word. Beneath the forum name and Gateway/GO word are the available message sections, libraries, and conference rooms that are available in that forum. If the forum does not offer one of these available areas, it is not listed, or blank. TERMINOLOGY ----------- GATEWAY: A three letter code that identifies the information provider for this forum. Used in conjunction with the GO command, it provides fast navigation between forums in different service areas. The current gateway codes are: CIS CompuServe Infomation Service EET Electronic Engineering Times Network Service ZMC Ziff-Davis MacUser/MacWEEK/CompuServe Information Service ZNT Ziff-Davis ZiffNet Information Service HOME The CompuServe Host for your account (GO HOME:MAIL) GO WORD: The identifying word that takes you to a service/forum. USAGE ----- You can use this file to quickly locate a forum of interest. Once located, you can use the gateway and "go" word to reach that forum. For example, to reach the free CompuServe Help Forum, you would type GO CIS:HELPFORUM. To reach the free Ziffnet Support Forum, you would type GO ZNT:ZIFFHELP. All GO words can be abbreviated to six (6) characters. For example, GO CIS:HELPFORUM can also be typed as GO CIS:HELPFO. If you are using the CompuServe Information Manager, GO words are called Service Names. You would select the GO... option in your Services Menu and type the actual gateway/go word in the Transfer To Service box that appears; i.e., CIS:HELPFORUM. NOTE: A plus sign (+) after the Forum Name/Description indicates that that forum is part of extended services. DISCLAIMER ---------- This file is not an official listing of forums and sections, but rather an individual compilation created by the author, Al Andersen 72662,2055. It has been uploaded to assist CompuServe members in searching for areas of interest on the CompuServe Information System. While I have tried to ensure this listing is accurate and reflects all the public forums available, neither myself nor CompuServe may be held responsible for any errors or inconsistencies that may have been overlooked. FORSEC.ARC is updated the first of every month, and is available in both the free Practice Forum, GO CIS:PRACTICE, and the free Help Forum, GO CIS:HELPFORUM. Feel free to place this file on any CompuServe Forum, but please do not modify it. If you should note any discrepancies, please contact the author.
