The easiest way to install Netscape is to copy the self extracting executable (ns16-093.exe) to a temporary directory. Then using either the File Manager or from a DOS prompt extract the setup files by running the self extracting executable. The last step is to run the Windows Setup program "setup.exe" from the temporary directory. The Netscape Setup program will install Netscape in a directory of your choice (default of c:\netscape), add a Netscape section to your WIN.INI file, and create a Program Manager group and item. If you don't use the Netscape Setup program and you install Netscape in a directory other than c:\netscape you should update the following fields in your NETSCAPE.INI file (the Netscape Setup program handles this automatically): [History] History File=c:\netscape\netscape.hst [Bookmark List] File Location=c:\netscape\bookmark.htm [Cache] Cache Dir=c:\netscape\cache [Cookies] Cookie File=c:\netscape\cookies.txt If Netscape cannot write these files (for example, if the directory doesn't exist) Netscape will still run; however, global history and bookmarks will not be saved between sessions. No matter where you install Netscape, you should make a subdirectory named "cache" or disk caching will be disabled (the Netscape Setup program will automatically do this for you). By default, Netscape tries to use the directory c:\netscape\cache as its disk cache directory. The default disk cache size is 5Meg. Right now, both attributes can only be changed by editing the INI file. * Initialization File The zip file for Netscape contains the initialization file netscape.ini, which has entries for all of the values you can customize for Netscape. If you have never used any other versions of Netscape before, you should run the setup program. * Please read the release notes under "Help -> Version Information". * Yes, this is Mozilla. ========================================================================= _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
