                          Installation Instructions
==============================================================================

Installation of Netscape is very simple: unpack the tar file, and run 
the resultant executable.  But there are, of course, a few exceptions...

SGI:        For SGIs, there are two distributions: one with just the executable
            and app-defaults file, and one with input files for the SGI
            installer tool "inst."  You only need one or the other, as they
            contain the same data in different forms.

SunOS 4.1:  The SunOS 4.1 package comes with two executables: netscape and
            netscape_dns.  This is because Suns use two different,
            incompatible methods of resolving host names (Domain Name Service,
            and Network Information Service, formerly known as Yellow Pages.)
            A given site only need install one of these executables.

	    It is usually possible to configure your YP/NIS server to consult
	    a DNS server for resolution of hosts not in the YP maps.  Consult
	    your system administrator for details.

            The SunOS 4.1 distribution also includes a directory called "nls".
            This directory is a standard part of the MIT X11R5 distribution,
            but is not included with OpenWindows 3.0 or earlier.  We have
            linked Netscape against the MIT R5 libraries because they are less
            buggy in general; however, they have one rather serious bug, which
            is that if this "nls" directory does not exist, the program will
            dump core any time you try to paste into a text field!

            So, if you don't have the "nls" directory on your system, you will
            need to install it first.  The usual place is /usr/lib/X11/nls,
            but you can put it anywhere: just point the $XNLSPATH environment
            variable at it.

            Some sites don't have their X libraries installed in /usr/lib/X11/.
            This doesn't matter.  You either need to put the nls directory in
            /usr/lib/X11/, or every user will need to set this environment
            variable.

AIX:        Netscape requires AIX 3.1.5 with the X11R5 and Motif 1.2 libraries.
            If you are running an older version, you will get undefined
            symbols at run-time; unfortunately, the only solution is to
            upgrade to a more recent version of the OS.

 * Included with all distributions is a file called XKeysymDB.  Without this
   file, many warnings about "unknown keysyms" will be generated when the
   program starts up, and most keyboard equivalents won't work.  This is a
   general problem with running Motif programs on systems not configured for
   Motif, and so will be necessary on most Sun systems.

   This file is included with all packages because some systems have an older
   version of this file, so you may still get some warnings.  The XKeysymDB
   file normally goes in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB or /usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB,
   but you can override that with $XKEYSYMDB.

 * Also included with all distributions is a file called Netscape.ad, which
   lists the default resources which are built in to the program.  It is
   not necessary to install this; it is provided for informational purposes.
   See the comment at the top of the file for more information.

 * If you get a "Cannot locate host" dialog at startup, this is a sign of
   problems related to name resolution.  If you're on a Sun, see the comments
   above about the two executables.

 * If you get a "Cannot connect to host" dialog at startup, it could mean that
   you are behind a firewall, and need to tell Netscape about your SOCKS
   server.  See the Preferences dialog under the Options menu, or consult your
   system administrator.

 * Please read the release notes under "Help -> Version Information".  This
   document is updated as problems are found, so please check it before 
   reporting a bug.

 * To unpack a compressed tar file into the current directory, use some 
   variation of the following command:

       zcat the-file.tar.Z | tar -vxf -

 * And remember, it's spelled N-e-t-s-c-a-p-e, but it's pronounced "Mozilla."
