======================
-Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5x (or later)
-486/66 PC (Pentium strongly recommended) with a minimum of 16 MB of RAM (32
MB on Windows NT preferred--additional memory improves performance on less

install)

You will also need a Web browser installed on your machine. NetObjects
Fusion is optimized for:
a) Netscape Navigator 2.0 and higher
b) Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 and higher
c) Other HTML 3.x compatible browsers
B) Installing NetObjects Fusion 2.0
===================================
Download the software from our web site to a temporary directory on your hard
drive outside of the directory where you will install NetObjects Fusion 2.0.
Double-click the file from File Manager or Windows Explorer. The NetObjects
Fusion 2.0 installer will launch automatically after the files have unzipped.
Please follow the installation directions. The necessary files will be
installed by default in a directory called C:\NetObjects Fusion 2.0\
Be sure to use the installer to copy any NetObjects Fusion 1.0 styles which
you have been using. The styles will be placed into NetObjects Fusion 2.0
Styles directory and you can then import them into any .nod file that you use.
The data files created with NetObjects Fusion 2.0 have a .NOD extension.
The files will be stored by default in the User Sites directory.
C) Un-Installing NetObjects Fusion 2.0
======================================
For Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Users: To un-install NetObjects Fusion 2.0,
launch the Add/Remove Program from your Control Panel and select NetObjects
Fusion 2.0. The Un-installer will not delete any files you have created with
NetObjects Fusion 2.0.
For NT 3.51 Users: Click on the Uninstall Icon in the NetObjects Fusion program
group. The Un-installer will not delete any files you have created with
NetObjects Fusion 2.0.
During Uninstallation, if you encounter a message asking to confirm the removal
of any .dll or system files, we recommend that you choose yes.
D) Upgrading from NetObjects Fusion 1.0
=======================================
You can run both NetObjects Fusion 1.0 and this Pre-Release F Version of
NetObjects Fusion 2.0 on the same machine.
This version of NetObjects Fusion 2.0 is designed to be compatible with any
.nod files you created with a previous release of NetObjects Fusion. When you
first open a file created with NetObjects Fusion 1.0, the program will offer
you the choice to upgrade the file from a copy of the original file before
proceeding. We recommend that you do so. If you choose "Yes", NetObjects
Fusion 2.0 will automatically make a copy of your 1.0 file and open the copy
(in the 2.0 format).
Once the files have been opened in NetObjects Fusion 2.0 they are *NOT*
backward compatible and cannot be used with NetObjects Fusion 1.0 for Windows
or Macintosh.
NetObjects Fusion 2.0 is shipping with a brand new set of SiteStyles. If you
want to continue using a file with a 1.0 style, you will have to copy the style
into NetObjects Fusion 2.0 and update the styles list in the Styles View. If you
already copied the styles during installation, open your 1.0 file and go to the
Styles View. Select "Import Style" from the File menu or click the "New Style"
button and add the name of your 1.0 Style. Click OK and your 1.0 style will
become part of your new file.
If you did not copy the styles during installation, you can copy them manually
from the 1.0 Styles directory. Select the 1.0 styles folders that you
want to continue using, and copy them into the Styles directory of NetObjects
Fusion 2.0. In NetObjects Fusion 2.0, open your 1.0 file and go to the Styles
view. Select "Import Style" from the File menu or Select the "New Style" button.
Add the name of your 1.0 style and click OK. The 1.0 Style will be imported
into your new 2.0 file.
If you want to import all of your 1.0 styles into a file, choose File|Update
Styles List and all of the styles in your styles directory will be imported
into the .nod file.
E) What's New In NetObjects Fusion 2.0 Pre-Release F Version
============================================================
There are over 100 enhancements and new features in NetObjects Fusion 2.0.
Please check the seed website for a complete list of new features. We have
several new features that were not available in the Pre-Release P3.21 version:
*) SpellChecker
*) Optimize text generation for Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer
*) Enhanced frames targeting
*) Update Styles list to add all styles in the style directory to the file
*) Only stage/publish changed assets
*) Pass through of high ASCII characters for foreign character sets
*) Many additional bug fixes that were requested by our seed sites
F) Usage Suggestions
====================
This Pre-Release F version of NetObjects Fusion, is not optimized for very large
Web sites. We recommend that you limit your site sizes to 250 pages. Above
250 pages, you will notice significant performance degradation.
*) After importing a site, some of the pages may have some overlapping objects.
You can try to adjust the font size in the Preferences dialog to match the
original settings that were used when designing the site.
*) When importing a local site, make sure to fill out the domain name field.
This will ensure that pages and links in the imported pages are correctly handled as
internal objects.
*) Back-up your work frequently while using NetObjects Fusion 2.0
Pre-Release F Version. You can use the Save As command in the File menu.
*) External HTML pages will be published into a folder called "MY_HTML." Be
sure that all of your links and assets refer to the correct directory upon
publishing. NetObjects Fusion will not automatically move the assets.
Please visit our Web site for updated information on known problems and
workarounds.
