In a continuing effort to outdo Emacs; Netscape Communicator 4.0b6
and components are now available in the outland locker. This release
is surprising more stable that the previous betas. To run:
add outland
netscape-beta # For Communicator
Netscape Communicator is, of course, Netscape's latest, greatest
attempt to eat processor cycles, memory, and produce a product that
attempts to do more things than Emacs. Other than that, it has a
spiffier UI, is better integrated, supports CSS1 (Cascading Style
Sheets), Dynamic HTML, Dynamic Fonts, and lots of other features
you're sure to use. For more information, try the release notes:
http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.0/relnotes/unix-4.0b6.html
Netscape Communicator Preview Release 6 is installed for Linux,
NetBSD, Irix, Solaris, HPUX, and SunOS. Plugin directories are
supported as before on most platforms. Dynamic Fonts are only
available on Solaris and Irix. Netscape Host On-Demand is available
for all platforms, but will not run properly from the 'Communicator'
menu. To use Host On-Demand, you must enter the URL:
file:///mit/outland/share/lib/Netscape/3270/he3270en.htm
Netscape Calendar is only available for Solaris and Irix. Netscape
Collabra (conferencing software) is only available for Solaris and
Irix, and may not work properly at this time.
Enjoy!
