- Section 1 - Requirements for using Quarterdeck Mosaic
- ======================================================
-
- 1. A working Winsock based TCP/IP or SLIP/PPP connection configured for
- your PC. (We recommend using the QWinsock and Location Manager
- included with this software for dial-up connections).
-
- 2. An account with an Internet Service Provider.
-
- 3. Five megabytes of available disk space.
-
-
- Section 2 - New Features in version 2.02
- ======================================================
-
- Quarterdeck Mosaic 2.02 includes the following new enhancements
- added since the 2.00 and 2.01 release:
-
- - Added support for Cookies.
- - Added support for Spyglass API Registered Verbs. Support all Registered
- verbs with the exception of Register Protocol and Unregister protocol.
- - Added support for Client Pull.
- - Added support for Client Side Image Maps.
- - Enhanced HTML table support by adding support for table width, cell spacing
- and cell padding.
- - The user agent now identifies the browser as Mozilla 1.22 compatible and as
- Quarterdeck Mosaic 2.02.
- - Improved sound player controls.
-
-
- Section 3 - Changes to Documentation
- =====================================
-
- The following items are things which have changed since the
- documentation was printed.
-
- - Mosaic 2.0 now includes internal sound viewers for these
- sound formats: au, aiff, midi, wav
-
- - The toolbar can be dragged from the top of the Mosaic window to
- the bottom of the Mosaic window, or it can float within Mosaic.
- However, it can not be attached to the right or left side.
-
- - Demand-dial with QWinsock. If QWinsock is selected as your default
- winsock, when you attempt to access the Internet, QWinsock will be
- launched automatically. If you are using another winsock in addition
- to QWinsock, you must manually launch QWinsock by clicking on the
- QWinsock icon in the program group. See QWinsock Help for more
- information.
-
- - Quarterdeck Mosaic includes a persistent cache which keeps documents
- and images in the cache from previous sessions. Therefore, when you
- re-visit a site, such as the White House Home Page
- (http://www.whitehouse.gov/) the large GIF image may be in the cache,
- eliminating the need to retrieve the image via the Internet. It will
- quickly load the image from disk.
-
- - On page 5 of the manual, under Hardware, Software, and Internet
- Connection Requirements: Should read: Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows
- for Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT, or Windows 95.
-
- - On page 64, under Tools Menu/Empty Cache, text should read: Flushes
- (deletes) all documents from the cache except those which are currently
- in use. (Documents listed in the local history or currently displayed
- in an external viewer are not deleted when the cache is emptied.) By
- emptying the cache you can free up hard disk space being used by
- previously viewed documents.
-
- - On page 68, Printer Margins, text should read:
- By default, Quarterdeck Mosaic prints a header containing a document's
- title and URL in the top margin and a footer with the page number in the
- bottom margin. In this section you can specify how far from the top and
- bottom of the page you would like the headers and footers to be printed.
- (To disable printing of headers or footers, enter 0 in the Header or
- Footer field.) You can also specify the size of the top, bottom, right,
- and left margins by entering the desired measurements in the appropriate
- fields.
-
- - On Page 75, HTML Viewer Preferences, Styles:
- The following was omitted between Numbered Lists and Hypertext Links:
- * Bullets - what character to use for bullets in bulleted lists.
-
-
- Section 4 - Troubleshooting
- ===========================
-
- QMosaic fails to find your CD-ROM drive:
-
- Install determines the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (C,D,E, etc...)
- during installation. This information is stored in the QMOSAIC.INI file,
- which is typically found in c:\inet\qmosaic. It is stored as a text string
- in that file:
-
- CDROM=n
-
- where n is a number. The values of n are Drive A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4 and
- so on. For example, if the CD-ROM drive is drive E, the setting in
- QMOSAIC.INI would be:
-
- CDROM=4
-
-
