The mBED plug-in requires
Netscape Navigator 2.0 or a browser that supports
the plug-in architecture.

If you have set up Netscape to run WinZip Wizard, it will automatically
run the setup application, continue to the next step. If you
automatically run WinZip Classic on zip files, double click on Setup.exe.
Otherwise, Netscape will download a zip file, mbedXX.zip. If Netscape prompts you
for a location, save it to a temporary directory.
Unzip mbedXX.zip to extract the the following files: setup.exe and
npXXmbed.dll. For mbed32.zip, the file npMbed.class will also be
extracted.
Double-click the setup.exe application.
-
Follow the instructions in the setup application
-
If you encounter any problems, please visit the
Problem Resolution section below.
- Running the mBED plug-in will require you to increase your Netscape
multifinder partition. If you are running Netscape 2.x, set your partition
at 7MB. If you are running Netscape 3.0, set your partition at 12MB.
- Verify that you have a recent version of Stuffit Expander.
- You need to install the appropriate plugin for your platform.

Netscape will load a self-extracting archive, which will automatically
be unstuffed and placed in the Netscape temporary directory.
The location of this folder is an option in your Netscape general
preferences under applications.
-
Look in your Netscape temporary directory and open the folder named 'mBED
Software'. Double click on the installer application which is either
named 'mBED Installer PPC' or 'mBED Installer 68K'.
-
Use the installer to locate the version of Netscape where you would like to
install the mBED plug-in and hit the OK button.

Q: I tried to enter the main site, but I kept getting a
message saying my plug-in was out of date.
A: This means you have an older version of the mBED plug-in.
Download the latest above and install it and this should fix your problem.
Q: I downloaded the mbedXX.zip file and ran the setup.exe
installation, but when I go to the plugged-in site, a message
appears that says that I need to get the plug-in. What could be wrong?
A: The most common problem is users installing the plug-in
into the wrong Netscape directory. You should verify that the
Netscape that you are running is the version that you selected
during the installation.
Q: I installed the plug-in, but I get the message 'could not load
plug-in for mime-type application/mbedlet'. What went wrong?
A: Some users have installed the 16 bit plug-in into a 32 bit
version of Netscape. The 16 bit plug-in runs on Windows 3.1.
The 32 bit plug-in runs on Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Q: I tried to enter the main site, but I kept getting a message saying
my plug-in was out of date.
A: This means you have an older version of the mBED plug-in. Download
the latest above and install it and this should fix your problem.
Q: I downloaded the mbed-XXX-sit.hqx file, visited the Netscape
temporary download directory, but the plug-in folder was not there.
Why not?
A: Your browser may not be configured correctly. Verify that the
latest version of StuffIt is configured as the application to handle the
application/mac-binhex40 mime-type.
Q: I downloaded the plug-in successfully and visited your website.
The site is animated but quickly crashes. What could be wrong?
A: Your Netscape browser may be running out of memory.
Try increasing your memory partition for the Netscape application.
Q: I downloaded the plug-in successfully and visited your website,
but not all of your images seem to load. What could be wrong?
A: This is the same problem as above. The Netscape memory
partition needs to be increased.
