plug-ins. Users can immediately take advantage of enhanced Web browsing
capabilities with Netscape Communicator's support for page features such as
HTML 3.2, dynamic HTML, Javascript 1.2 and trusted applets.

Aurora Status Update
On October 13, 1998, IBM will announce the official name of the next release
of OS/2 Warp Server on the Aurora Web site. Shortly thereafter, on October
16,1998, no more registrations for the beta will be accepted.
However, the Aurora Web site will still remain active with a customer poll.
The most recent question posed was: What processor family is predominantly
supporting LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server? The results indicated that more
than 90% of the respondents are running Pentium class machines. A new
question will be posted approximately every two weeks.
Back Issues of OS/2 WARP FM are available on-line at
