Netscape

Netscape 2.02 version was ftped from ftp://ftp8.netscape.com. We download the unix binaries for Solairs, DEC Alpha and SGI Irix and store them in /newton/tmp1/src/netscape directory. The windows binaries go in /newton/tmp1/src/ftp/pc/win95 or /newton/tmp1/src/ftp/pc/win311 directories depending on the platform.

We make a temporary directory called temp in the area as the tar.gz files foolishly expand to the current directory. We go there and expand one platform at a time, install it and remove the files. The installation is simply copying the netscape binary to /local/bin directory and copying the mozX_XX.zip file to the /local/lib/netscapedirectory. The very first time, we had to set the CLASSPATH environment variable to point to /local/lib/netscape. Delete any older zip files in that directory. The mailcap file in this directory is also used by netscape to handle multimedia types.
