OLE 2.02
=======================================================================
For Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups users:
The Netscape 16bit install program will install the following OLE2

=======================================================================
Running Netscape
=======================================================================
What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?
You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use Netscape.
The ability to send and receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you
can run Netscape. There are three requirements for Netscape Navigator:
1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.
2. TCP/IP stack
3. Netscape Navigator software
You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
provider in your area. You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP account
from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).
When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a TCP/IP
stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.
If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when running
Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking for the
WINSOCK.DLL file that is part of a winsock package.
=======================================================================
International
=======================================================================
The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the
latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit Windows.
For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US and the Japanese
versions are the internationalization of error strings. Occasionally,
the Japanese user may see an English language OLE2 error message after
installing Netscape. Currently, there are no Japanese versions
available for the OLE2 DLLs. Netscape is working with Microsoft to
make the Japanese version of the OLE2 DLLs available.
