210.0. "Access CompuServe via Internet Browser?" by RTOMS::dhcp-203-208-169.rto.dec.com::GrabeM () Thu Apr 03 1997 03:26

Is it possible to access CompuServe forums using a standard Internet 
Browser, e.g., Netscape or MS Explorer?

It seems that the URL is something like 
http://www.compuserve.com/cgi-bin/gocserve?XXX where XXX is the CompuServe 
Forum Abbriviation, e.g., CALFORUM.

My browser then returns with the following error message:

You have started to download a file of type:
application/x-gocserve
Click "More Info" to learn how to extend Navigator's capabilities.

I then have the following options:

More Info | Pick App.. | Save File | Cancel

It looks like I am missing some Plug-In or so? Where can I get this?

Not forums - you can access some CIS pages with a browser.
