pre-Internet, on-line services for consumers, providing
bulletin boards, on-line conferencing, business news, sports
and weather, financial transactions, electronic mail,
Usenet news, travel and entertainment data and on-line
editions of computer publications. CIS was originally run by
CompuServe Corporation.
In 1979, CompuServe was the first service to offer {electronic
mail} and technical support to personal computer users. In
1980 they were the first to offer real-time chat with its
CB Simulator. By 1982, the company had formed its Network
Services Division to provide wide-area networking to corporate
clients.
Initially mostly serving the USA, in 1986 they developed a
Japanese version called NIFTYSERVE. In 1989, they expanded
into Europe and became a leading Internet service provider.
In 2001 they released version 7.0 of their client program.
