subject: More on Netscape Communicator...

Hello All!
First, I think that I started something which is NOT a good thing to do if 
you are the moderator of an echo.
A little background:
The current version of Netscape for OS/2 is 2.02.  However you can "fake" 
version 3 by adding a "-3" parameter when starting Netscape.  This tells 
sites that you are using Netscape 3.0, not 2.02.
Second, Communicator is the code-name that Netscape is using for Netscape 
4.0. Right now, there is no BETA of Communicator for OS/2.  However, there 
are plans to release it.  I don't know when it will be released, nor does 
Netscape or IBM.  IT WILL BE PRODUCED AND RELEASED.  Check out the Unoffical 
Netscape for OS/2 Support page for further information.  Please take the time 
to download the Windows 3.1 version to see what it will look like.  DO NOT 
BECOME A PEST AND CONSTANTLY ASK IBM OR NETSCAPE WHEN IT WILL BE READY FOR 
OS/2!  I read on the net that it should be ready by the end of 1Q97 and be 
more advanced than the Windows version when ready (we OS/2'rs are a picky 
bunch!)
Third.  This is what I meant to say when I stated that there is going to be a 
"new" version of Netscape.  There will be no "3.0" version of Netscape nor 
will there be a GOLD version (to match that of available for WindowsXX).  A 
lot of the functions (frames, etc.) were built-in to Netscape for OS/2 2.02.
