NCSA Mosaic for the Macintosh - 1.0 Release
NCSA Mosaic is COPYRIGHTED by the University of Illinois. See
copyright notice in the ftp directory and on-line.
This is the 1.0 release of NCSA Mosaic for the Macintosh. Special
THANKS to all of you who helped us make this tool what it is.
This is not the end! Development on NCSA Mosaic for the
Macintosh will continue. We are beginning work on the 2.0
features tomorrow AM.
For those of you behind Firewalls: We are starting a Firewall
mailing list in hopes of trying to solve the problems associated here.
To join this list, mail the developers and put FIREWALL in your
subject line.
To run this tool you will need the following; System 7.0 (or higher),
MacTCP (2.0.2 is preferred - 1.x has bugs that will result in memory
problems) and a network connection (Apple Remote Access can be
used through a modem for the network connection).
NCSA Mosaic should function on all types of Macintoshes, including
the SE and the Classic.
NCSA Mosaic is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
(141.142.20.50) in directory /Mac/Mosaic as NCSAMosaicMac.10.sit.hqx
The NCSAMosaicMac.10.sit.hqx has been stuffed using Stuffit 1.5 and
BinHexed. You can un-binhex and un-stuff the file using any utility which
handles these compression schemes. If you don╒t have one try StuffitExpander
(it nicely handles both schemes) located in the Mac/Mosaic directory.
In order to un-binhex the expander follow the directions in Binhex.README
located in Mac/Utilities.
Also look for the QuickStart Installation Guide. It is the file QuickStart.Txt in
the Mac/Mosaic directory.
Bugs and Improvements for 1.0: (For a comprehensive list of features check the
Macintosh home page.)
New Features..........
tn3270 support
Loading of binhex files in gopher
Support for HR and ALT HTML tags
Access authorization: test case http://www1.cern.ch/AAtest/Welcome.html
Full HTTP1.0 support, including redirection: test case
http://www.bsdi.com/test-cases/HTTP/
Gopher tries to guess image types by file extension now.
Bugs...............
QuickTimes is still a problem for some users. It appears to timeout
before receiving the entire file.
Better interrupt support.
All known interrupt hang-ups have been fixed.
Telnet icons for Gopher are in.
CSO gopher searches work, and do not spin forever.
Annotations can be edited/deleted again.
Temporary files are back in System Folder.
Please Send comments, suggestions and bug reports to
mosaic-mac@ncsa.uiuc.edu. You have been a great help in making
Mosaic a good, stable application.
Enjoy
Mosaic for the Mac Development Team.
