- By the power vested in me by nobody in particular, alpha/beta version
- 0.5 of NCSA's Motif-based networked information systems and World Wide
- Web browser, X Mosaic, is hereby released:
-
- file://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/xmosaic/xmosaic-0.5.tar.Z
-
- This release of X Mosaic is known to compile on the following
- platforms:
-
- SGI (IRIX 4.0.2)
- IBM (AIX 3.2)
- Sun 4 (SunOS 4.1.2 with stock X11R4 and Motif 1.1).
-
- Binaries for these platforms are available on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in
- /Web/xmosaic/binaries-0.5. More binaries will be supplied as I am
- able to find other Motif-configured platforms to use (DEC MIPS
- probably within the next half hour).
-
- Although this is alpha/beta software, I'm looking more for feedback on
- design and functionality than bug reports right now -- down the road
- the bulk of the program will be rewritten in C++ anyway, so don't take
- the current code too seriously. But bug reports are welcome too. New
- releases will probably come out about every 7-14 days until 1.0
- arrives.
-
- A list of current and future capabilities of X Mosaic follows this
- message.
-
- Cheers,
- Marc
