1. What is WebNavigator 1.13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WebNavigator is a web browser for OS/2.
WebNavigator is a faster, easier way of browsing the web than WebExplorer.
It does most of the things that WebExplorer does and works both on and off
-line. It has many features that WebExplorer does not. If you are used to
work with WebExplorer you will soon get used to work with WebNavigator.
Most menu-items and keyboard shortcuts are similar to those in WebExplorer.
Features you should note:
- Selecting a link while a page is loading
- Internal and external (plugin) ftp/download
- Integrated News and Mail.
- Easy to use QuickList
- Small (around 100kb) and fast.
We also offer custom made versions of WebNavigator for customers that have
specific needs. For example, feature limited company specific versions.
WebNavigator supports HTML 2.0 plus some features of HTML 3.x.
Since WebNavigator uses the same websupport as WebExplorer the level of
HTML compliancy is the same as the installed version of WebExplorer.
WebNavigator requires Warp 3 or Warp 4. WebNavigator also requires that
you have installed IBM TCP/IP support and WebExplorer (to get the DLL
file WEBEXWIN.DLL that WebNavigator needs). These features are included
in all versions of Warp 3 and Warp 4.
2. What is new in version 1.13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.13 is an intermediate release. It is a release to fix a
specific problem.
A major upgrade (1.5) is currently in closed beta.
- When IBM upgraded WEBEXWIN.DLL with WebExplorer 1.1h they changed
the specfications for proxy and socket support. The change was
newer documented !!
- WebNavigator now contains a fix that checks for the version of
WEBEXWIN.DLL and if it finds 1.1h its handles the problem.
- The Help->Prouct Information menu item now reports the location
of your WEBEXWIN.DLL file and its version.
NOTE: Do NOT use this version to upgrade from HTMLview !
3. Trial version limitations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

** Support is only available for registered users **
The trial version has the following restrictions:

- The program will exit after running for 20 minutes.
- When starting and exiting WebNavigator an information screen appears.

4. Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation program is written for your convenience but is not required
to install the product. You may copy the files to your harddisk manually if
you wish. Only three files are required to run WebNavigator.
- Copy the files (WEBNAV.EXE, WEBNAV.HTM, DIRECT.LNK) to a directory
of your choice.
- Create desktop icons with program references for WEBNAV.EXE.
- DO NOT drag the icons representing the executables from the file system
(Drives window).
- You may create several program references with different links as parameters.
- Many copies of WebNavigator may run at the same time.
If the installation program fails, please ensure that:
- The installation directory is not in a non existing multilevel path.
- The installation drive is not write protected.
- You are running Workplace Shell.
- The package WEBN113.ZIP is not tampered with.
NOTE:
If you use 1.11 or 1.12 today just replace the WEBNAV.EXE. You need NOT to
rerun the installation program though it should work.
