General Availability of Netscape Communicator Pro Software To: netscape_contacts@qvarsx.er.usgs.gov CC: " Computer Policy Advisory Committee, Reston, VA" , dis@qvarsx.er.usgs.gov, netscape_testers@qvarsx.er.usgs.gov, " Netscape Help, Reston, VA" Subject: General Availability of Netscape Communicator Pro Software DIS Netscape Contacts, The purpose of this email is to formally announce the general availability of Netscape Communicator Pro 4.0.3 as a DIS-supported web browser, email reader, and netnews reader for those sites that purchased the software through DIS earlier this year. The software must be retrieved over the network. The complete list of sites and number of licenses purchased is included at the end of this message. Please note that licenses are per employee and not per machine. A hard copy of the Netscape End User License Agreement (EULA) is being mailed to you for your records. As a reminder, licenses have been obtained for the remainder of WRD employees not assigned licenses as part of this initial procurement. If your site did not initially buy licenses for all of its employees, you will soon be given authority to install licenses for all employees. During the past several weeks, DIS and the WRD Netscape test sites have collected valuable information on how to install and use Communicator Pro software in the WRD environment. The DIS Netscape web page has been established as the repository for all DIS Netscape-related information for both system administrators and end users. As the implementation continues, the DIS Netscape page will continually be updated with the latest information. Your first step in installing Netscape Communicator Pro, after completely reading this email, is to visit the DIS Netscape web page, and specifically the Road-map section: http://wwwqvarsa.er.usgs.gov/netscape Installers will find installation instruction Road-maps and tip sheets for the following platforms on the DIS Netscape web page: Wincenter NT 4.0 Workstation Windows95 Solaris 2.5.1 SGI Irix 6.2 Linux 2.0 MacPPC User tip sheets are available, including: How to Convert MH-Mail folders to Netscape How to Import Mosaic Hotlist to Communicator How to Configure Netscape Email for Geomail Other user tip sheets are in progress.
