But Mosaic is a critical successful experiment that will possibly lead to
those improved protocols and software. Many are calling Mosaic the
long-awaited Internet killer app. It just might be the first (second after
email).
I read that Quarterdeck has licensed Mosaic from NCSA. Perhaps there are
others who have licensed Mosaic. I don't know what Qdeck intends to do
with Mosaic or the terms of the deal.
Anyone know about Quarterdeck's plans for Mosaic?
