TAPCIS Timing Problem While Running in the Background

ID: Q82500

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 3.1

When TAPCIS, an MS-DOS-based communications application used to access CompuServe, is run in the background and is instructed to pause for a finite amount of time, TAPCIS pauses eternally or until it is brought to the foreground.

This can be corrected by creating a program information file (PIF) for TAPCIS with the Detect Idle Time option turned on (the box is checked) in the Advanced section of the PIF Editor.
