        Netscape Navigator 1.1 beta 3 Network Release (Windows)
==============================================================================

Netscape Navigator 1.1 beta 3 will expire on June 30, 1995. You will
not be able to use this beta release after that date.

Netscape Navigator 1.1 beta 3 is subject to the terms detailed in the
license agreement accompanying it.

           ***********************************************
        IMPORTANT!  Before going any further, please
        read and accept the terms in the file LICENSE.
           ***********************************************

Release notes for this version of the Netscape Navigator are
available online.  After starting the program, select "Release
Notes" from the "Help" menu.  This will take you to the URL

    http://home.netscape.com/home/help-on-version/windows-1.1b3.html

which lists new features and known problems of this release.

To submit bugs or other feedback, use the "How To Give Feedback" option,
also in the "Help" menu, which will take you to the URL

    http://home.netscape.com/home/how-to-give-feedback.html

If for some reason you cannot submit feedback using that form, you
may send email to win_cbug@netscape.com.  Please be as specific as
possible about the version of Netscape you are using, your hardware
configuration, and your operating system (including version).  If
possible, include a test case for the problem, including a URL.

From our 1.0 experience, we learned that it is impossible for us to provide
support for beta releases.  There will be no Technical Support (including
discussion of bugs, compatibility, or how-do-I-get it to work) for 1.1, by
any media (email, telephone, etc), until the final 1.1 is released.

Unfortunately we won't be able to answer questions you put in your feedback.
If you report a bug we don't know about, and if we need more specific
information to get the bug fixed, we'll send you an email.  However, this is
going to be rare; there will be probably be lots of people reporting the same
bug, and we won't need to speak with all of them.

        Installation Instructions
==============================================================================

* Installation
    Version 1.1b3 is being distributed as both a 16-bit Windows
    program and a 32-bit windows program.  If you are running
    Win3.x you must use the 16-bit version even if you are running
    Win32s, because the 32-bit version makes use of 32-bit API calls
    not supported by Win32s.

    The 16-bit version includes an installation program. To install
    Netscape run the setup.exe program. The Netscape installation
    program will install Netscape in a directory of your choice, add
    a Netscape section to your WIN.INI file, and create a Program
    Manager group and item.

* Initialization File
    The self extracting archive for the Netscape Navigator contains
    the initialization file netscape.ini, which has entries for
    all of the values you can customize for the Netscape Navigator.

* Please read the release notes under "Help -> Release Notes".

==============================================================================
        Win32s
==============================================================================

If you are running version 1.15 or below of Win32s, you will be unable to
install the Netscape Navigator unless you upgrade to version 1.20 of Win32s
or you remove Win32.

You can determine which version of Win32s you have in one of two ways:
    - check the WIN32S.INI file in your Windows system directory
    - if you are running Windows for Workgroups, select the WIN32S16.DLL file
      from the Windows system directory in File Manager. Then from the File
      menu, choose Properties. The Version line contains the major version
      and the build number.

To remove Win32s, do the following:
1. Remove the following line from the [386Enh] section in the SYSTEM.INI file:
      device=<WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\win32s\w32s.386
   where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are where the Windows and System
   directories are, respectively.
2. Remove winmm16.dll from the following line from the [BOOT] section in the
   SYSTEM.INI file:
      drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll
3. Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM> subdirectory:
      W32SYS.DLL
      WIN32S16.DLL
      WIN32S.INI
4. Delete all the files in the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory.
   Then delete the subdirectory itself.
5. Restart Windows.

==============================================================================
        OLE 2.02
==============================================================================

The Netscape install program for Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups will
install the following OLE2 files into the Windows System directory if either
there is no existing DLL or the existing DLL is older:

    COMPOBJ.DLL         108544          10-10-94
    MFCOLEUI.DLL        146976           1-13-95
    OLE2.DLL            302592          10-10-94
    OLE2.REG             27026          10-10-94
    OLE2CONV.DLL         57328          10-10-94
    OLE2DISP.DLL        164832          10-10-94
    OLE2NLS.DLL         150976          10-10-94
    OLE2PROX.DLL         51712          10-10-94
    STDOLE.TLB            4304          10-10-94
    STORAGE.DLL         157696          10-10-94
    TYPELIB.DLL         177216          10-10-94

==============================================================================
        Configuring the Netscape Audio Player
==============================================================================

For Windows NT, you must manually configure the audio player as a Netscape
Navigator helper application. To do this from the Options menu choose
Preferences.

Then select Helper Applications as the category on which to set preferences.
For both the audio/x-aiff and the audio/basic file types you need to specify
the full pathname to the Netscape audio player. Typically this will be the
following pathname: C:\NETSCAPE\NAPLAYER.EXE

The Netscape Audio Player does not work with beta 2 of Windows 95, and will
report "Sound device not available" even if you have one available and
working.

==============================================================================
        International
==============================================================================

The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the latest
versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit Windows. For 16-bit
Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese versions are
the internationalization of error strings.

Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error
message after installing Netscape.

Currently, there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs.
Netscape is working with Microsoft to make the Japanese version of the OLE2
DLLs available.

==============================================================================
        Running Netscape
==============================================================================

What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?

You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape.
The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you can
run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator 1.1:

    1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
       SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
    2. TCP/IP stack
    3. Netscape Navigator software

You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
provider in your area.  You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account
from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).

When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP
stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.

==============================================================================
        Cannot Find WINSOCK.DLL
==============================================================================

If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running Netscape
Navigator that means your computer is looking for the WINSOCK.DLL file, which
is part of a winsock package (also includes dialer, TCP/IP stack).

A winsock package makes it so that your PC can talk TCP/IP, which is necessary
for Netscape to run. See the "Running Netscape" section for details on running
the Netscape Navigator, and the "Obtaining a Winsock Package" section for
suggestions on obtaining a winsock package.

==============================================================================
        Obtaining a Winsock Package
==============================================================================

You can get the shareware winsock package, which is called Trumpet
Winsock (v1.0) via ftp from

    inorganic5.chem.ufl.edu:/gopher/pub/winsock/

Other winsock packages which we have tested without problems are:

    FTP Software's PC/TCP
    NetManage
    Microsoft WFW (Wolverine)
    Microsoft NT

Implementation (general):
Put the winsock in its own directory, for example, C:\WINSOCK,
and include the directory in your DOS PATH statement.

Enter Windows, create a group in the Program Manager for all files
with your winsock program.

Please be sure that the Netscape directory is in your path located
in your autoexec.bat file. You may need to add:
PATH=C:\(name of the directory where netscape is located)

After making this change, save the file and reboot your computer.

==============================================================================
        Known Problems
==============================================================================

We have found that Windows95 has problems with DDE.  We have seen illegal
instruction errors in DDE startup in DDEML.DLL.  If this happens to you,
you can turn off DDE by adding the following to your INI file:

    [Main]
    DDE Hosed=yes
