Orphan date October 2008 The Compuserve IMPs are a long standing writers group formed in 1993 by members of the Compuserve SFLit Forum. The concept was originated by William Cornett, when he asked the forum moderators for permission to form a critique group for writers who were waiting months to get into the official writers workshop. He also named the group, and keeps many of the original forum posts, uploads, and message strings on floppy discs. The name IMP is a shortened form taken from the current official title Informal Association of Writers IMPatiently Waiting To Be Published it was originally IMPatient Writers Workshop Waiting List Applicants . The formation of the group was assisted by science fiction writer Ron Collins and other applicants waiting to be admitted to the SFLit Forum s Writers Workshop. Science Fiction author Mike Resnick agreed to be the group s informal mentor. The IMPs developed a set of guidelines for participation, including a ratio for submitting IMPcrits to stories three critiques for each submission . The message traffic between members grew so heavy that the SFLit Forum Sysops eventually assigned the IMPs their own private library and chat room. As the Writing Workshop grew in popularity, its waiting list increased, and more IMPatient writers joined the IMPs. Several IMPs have published books, short stories, and essays. Members of the IMPire who went on to be published include Ron Collins, Ann Marston, Dave Bollinger, Jason Tanner, Martin Crumpton, Jeff Carter, Charlene Brusso, Jennifer Cush, Louise Rowder, Ann Marie Horcher, James Hartley Jay Caselberg , Christopher Holiday, Steve Schiff, Randy Dannenfelser, Lisa Silverthorne, Lyn Nichols, Adrienne Chafee, Adrienne Gormley, Michael Kelly, Josh Langston, Bill Cornett, Mitch Stein, Derek ... of the IMPs guided by some of the original group members are active on the Compuserve Web ...

Unreferenced date December 2009 OzWin was a client program which was used to connect to the CompuServeCompuServe Information Service . It was a GUI program written in Delphi that ran on the Microsoft Windows operating system . It was published by Ozarks West Software Ltd. and programmed by Steve Sneed. OzWin was born out of the earlier OzCIS program which was DOS based. OzWin allowed users to connect to CompuServe forums and batch download messages, files, and so forth from the server and then disconnect. They could then read the messages offline, and as well compose new messages and replies while offline. When they finished reading and composing messages, they could connect again to batch send all of the messages, as well as receive any new messages others had posted to the forums. This allowed users to batch upload and download messages and then work offline, minimising the time they were connected to CompuServe. This was important, since at that time, users were charged by the hour to connect to CompuServe, so remaining connected all the time was an expensive proposition and could quickly run up charges. Like OzCIS, OzWin also had features for up and downloading files to the forum libraries, plus a complete set of SysOp features such as moving and deleting messages, administering the file libraries, and flagging users giving denying SysOp rights, kicking banning . Unlike other offline readers such as TapCIS and NavCIS which added proprietary ways of formatting text colors, fonts, attributes , OzWin always remained plain text and never displayed any custom styles.
