The file is a self extracting archive, which means that when you execute it by typing in the filename at the DOS command line, all the Netscape files will be extracted. A file called README.TXT comes with the archive and contains installation instructions. Read this file and install Netscape on your machine.

We have included the following software for Windows, which has been tested with version 3.1:

WINPKT -> a virtual packet driver which allows the Crynwr packet driver to work properly with Windows.

Win32s -> software to allow 32 bit Windows applications (such as Mosaic) to run on Windows 3.1.

Trumpet Winsock -> a Winsock 1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack for Windows that will allow TCP/IP to run either over a Network or through a serial port.

Trmptel -> Trumpet's Telnet application for interactive login to remote nodes on the Internet.

Windows Mosaic -> for World Wide Web access to the Internet (NCSA)

Eudora -> a Windows based mail utility for access to a POP mail server (QUALCOMM).

WS_FTP32 -> a Windows Sockets FTP client application by John Junod.

Winlpr -> a Windows based LPR printing utility, by Thomas Heil.

Compression software -> PDZIP package is a set of compression and decompression utilities. It is used to decompress the files included on the diskettes.

Macintosh Networking Software -> The public domain NCSA Telnet V2.6 software for MACs can be configured in two ways. One configuration uses a proprietary MacTCP driver from Apple, while the other does not. The MacTCP configuration permits multiple open connections while the other does not. Therefore, it is preferable to use the MacTCP configuration. MacTCP is available only through APDA (see Appendix A) at $100 for a single copy or $1,000 for a site license. The NCSA Telnet software provides the usual telnet and ftp services. We have also included:

Eudora for sending/receiving Internet mail (ftp.cso.uiuc.edu, U. Illinois)

Stuffit 1.5.1 to restore the archived files on the enclosed diskettes.
