- ==================================================
-
- Attention Beta1a Users Only:
- If you have not upgraded from the beta1a version of Netscape
- Navigator for OS/2, you must completely delete it before installing
- this product. After you locate the directory containing the beta1a
- release, delete all files and directories. Lastly, delete the
- Netscape folder before you begin installation of this product.
-
- NOTE: You should check section 6.2 later in this file for other known
- installation issues that you should be aware of.
-
-
- 2.1 Installing Netscape Navigator for OS/2 for the first time
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- After you download Netscape Navigator for OS/2 Warp, follow these
- steps:
-
- 1) At and OS/2 prompt, change to the directory where you
- downloaded the executable and type the executable name.
-
- 2) To start the installation program, type:
-
- INSTALL
-
- 3) Follow the online instructions.
-
- NOTES:
- * During installation, you can choose to copy your WebExplorer
- QuickList to Netscape Navigator bookmarks. This gives you quick
- access to your favorite Web pages through Navigator.
-
- CAUTION: Electing to migrate the WebExplorer QuickList will destroy
- any existing Netscape Navigator bookmark file that you may have.
- Your previous bookmarks are saved in a file called BOOKMARK.BAK.
-
- * If you choose to install Java**** over a previous version, you
- will get messages about replacing the Java files. Respond by
- pressing 'Yes to All' when prompted.
-
- * If you are running OS/2 Warp version 4, you are also asked
- whether you want to convert the default browser for your Desktop
- URL objects to Netscape Navigator. If you answer Yes, Netscape
- Navigator (instead of WebExplorer) will open the URL objects on
- your Desktop. Any URL objects that are set to open with a
- specific browser are not affected.
-
- 4) Restart your system.
-
- * The installation program creates a Netscape folder on
- your desktop. This includes the Navigator objects, the
- README file, and an installation utility, (which can be
- used to delete, update, and reinstall Navigator).
-
- * If you get a network or TCP error and you are using Netscape
- Navigator behind a Firewall, you will probably need to
- setup the socks server or proxy gateway. See section 4.0
- for more instructions.
-
- Tip for Netscape Navigator Windows 3.1*** Users: If you want to use
- the same bookmarks for Netscape Navigator for OS/2 Warp, locate your
- previous BOOKMARK.HTM file and copy it to the new NAVIGATOR
- directory.
-
-
- 2.2 Updating an existing copy of Netscape Navigator for OS/2
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-

-
- 3.1 Drag and Drop
- -----------------
- The following drag and drop operations are available on
- all versions of OS/2 Warp:
-
- - Support for Images dragged to a folder and back into the HTML
- window.
-
- - Support for drag and drop pages to a printer object.
-
- - Support for drag and drop mail items into folders.
-
- - Support for drag and drop news and mail items to the Desktop
- from the item itself, not from the list boxes.
-
- The Netscape Navigator extends the support provided in
- OS/2 Warp version 4 for URL objects as follows:
-
- - Dragging from a page creates a URL Object that links
- to that page. Holding down Ctrl while dragging a page
- makes of copy of the HTML that corresponds to that page.
-
- - Dragging from an image makes a copy of that image.
- Holding down Ctrl+Shift while dragging an image that is
- also a link creates a URL Object that links to the image
- destination. Holding down Ctrl+Shift while dragging an
- image back to the browser takes you to the URL where
- that image came from.
-
- - Dragging a link creates a URL object that goes to that
- link. Holding down Ctrl while dragging a link creates a
- copy of the contents of that link.
-
- - URL objects from the OS/2 Warp version 4 Desktop can be
- dragged and dropped into the bookmarks window and from
- the window to the Desktop.
-
- - Remapping the mouse buttons specifically for drag
- and drop inside of the Mouse settings for OS/2 you
- will then no longer be able to Drag and Drop within
- the Netscape Browser. However, changing the mouse
- settings from Right Handed mouse operation to Left
- Handed, or vice-versa functions correctly.
-
- - Under OS/2 Warp 3.0, dragging a URL from the Navigator
- creates a text object, not a URL object.
-
- - Links to pages can be created by dragging and dropping
- from empty space or text in the document to the Desktop.
- You can also drag the Netscape "N" to create a link to a
- page. This is especially useful on pages with frames.
-
- 3.2 Voice Navigation
- --------------------
- A new menu item named 'Links' has been added to the menu
- bar that lists links from the most recently seen parts of
- a page. In OS/2 Warp version 4, users can use voice
- navigation to surf the net and interact with Netscape
- Navigator for OS/2.
-
- 3.3 Java
- --------
- By default Java support is enabled during installation. You
- can turn the Java support off by checking the Disable Java
- check box on the General page of the Security Preferences.
-
- This release includes a version 1.02 of Java for OS/2. This
- version of Java replaces the one included with OS/2 Warp
- version 4 and can also be used on OS/2 Warp version 3 and
- OS/2 Warp Connect.
-
- If you already have a previous version of Java installed
- we suggest that you select a drive different from the one
- on which you have installed Java. This will allow you
- to cleanly remove this level of Java from your computer,
- should you wish to do so.
-
- The 1.02 Java installation program might write an additional
- SET CLASSPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS. If you have installed other
- applications that affect CLASSPATH, you should combine
- the two CLASSPATH statements in CONFIG.SYS. The Java 1.02
- CLASSPATH should be after the 1.01 CLASSPATH.
-
- If you installed the JDK (Java Development Kit) under OS/2
- Warp version 4, it will no longer match the Java runtime
- version. If you plan to develop Java applets, you must
- update it to the JDK 1.02 level. For more information see
- http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/hurindex.html
-
- 3.4 Command Line Options
- ------------------------
- Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 supports the following
- command line options that you may specify at an OS/2 prompt
- or in the properties notebook for the Navigator object on
- the Workplace Shell Desktop.
-
- -h : Do not load Homepage
-
- -i<filename> : path to NETSCAPE.INI file (use an INI file
- other than the default)
-
- -k[x] <url> : KioskMode is on (default is off)
- x can be one of the following:-
- blank - all controls removed except title bar
- 0 - same as blank
- 1 - all controls removed and browser
- opens full-screen.
-
- -l<xx> : Starts the browser with the given 2 letter
- language and attempts to load the
- translated resources and help.
- xx can be one of the following:-
- DA - Danish
- DE - German
- ES - Spanish
- FR - French
- IT - Italian
- JA - Japanese
- KO - Korean
- NL - Dutch
- PT - Portuguese
- SV - Swedish
-
- -mail : startup Netscape Mail (not if -k is specified)
-
- -news : startup Netscape News (not if -k is specified)
-
- -3 : changes the user agent to Navigator 3.0 for OS/2
-
- NOTE: The ONLY change the -3 option makes to the
- product is in the user agent. No additional
- functionality is implemented; all function is
- already active. The only use of this flag is to
- access sites that check for Navigator 3.0. No
- formal support will be provided for problems that
- may occur while you view pages with this option
- selected.
-
-
- 3.5 Document Encoding
- ---------------------
-
- This section gives some help on when and how to use
- document encoding with Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2.
-
- The basic premise behind document encoding is that
- character sets from the Internet are mapped into operating
- system codepages. Netscape Navigator for OS/2 has to map
- various ISO and Windows codepages into OS/2 codepages.
- This is done either dynamically by the page being
- downloaded or by the user selecting the appropriate
- encoding from the Options->Document Encoding menu.
-
- In addition to mapping the characters, you must use a font
- that supports the appropriate codepage, and has the
- appropriate characters. All versions of OS/2 support 1004,
- 852, 855, and 857 in the default Tms Rmn and Courier fonts.
-
- Fonts for other encodings are included with the specific
- version of OS/2 for that country.
-
-
- 3.6 Double-Byte Character Support (DBCS)
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Netscape Navigator for OS/2 supports Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS)
- when running on the following language versions of OS/2 Warp 3.0 and
- OS/2 Warp 4.0:
-
- - Japanese (translated Navigator version available)
- - Korean (translated Navigator version available)
- - Simplified Chinese
- - Traditional Chinese
-
- Browse clipboard functions may not be fully functional without
- a required fix to the above operating systems.
-
- Windows plug-ins and OS/2 MPEG plug-in may not be fully functional
- without required fixes to the above operating systems.
-
- The Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Support component of Java
- is supported only on OS/2 Warp 4.0; it may be installed on earlier
- versions of OS/2 Warp but does not provide DBCS function in Java.
-
-
- 4.0 Using Netscape Navigator behind a Firewall
- ==============================================
-
- Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 Warp works best when
- directly connected to the Internet. If you are behind a
- firewall you must do one of the following to enable access
- to the World Wide Web.
-
- If you don't know the name of your local socks server or proxy
- gateway or whether you are behind a firewall, you should contact
- your company's I/S department or CIO.
-
- NOTE: If you receive a message saying 'no DNS entry,' you
- should ensure that you have a name server in your TCP/IP
- configuration that supports the resolution of names that are
- outside of their firewall and that it should be the first
- entry in the nameserver configuration list if you have
- more than one nameserver configured.
-
-
- 4.1 Socks for OS/2 Warp version 4 users
- ---------------------------------------
- OS/2 Warp version 4 includes socks support within the TCP/IP
- protocol stack. You can enable all TCP/IP applications to cross
- your firewall during TCP/IP Configuration. Select the TCP/IP
- Configuration icon from the Workplace Shell and turn to the
- "Socks" section and fill in each of the three pages.
-
- Page 1...
- Your domain name (for example, ibm.com)
- Your socks nameserver (for example, socks1.server.ibm.com)
-
- Page 2...
- Specify IP addresses that are inside your firewall (i.e.,
- you can access directly). For example:
- IP addr 9.0.0.0 Mask 255.0.0.0
-
- Page 3...
- Specify the name of the socks server and IP addresses that you
- will access through the gateway. For example:
- socks1.server.ibm.com 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
-
- When you have correctly enabled the settings you should find
- two files in your MPTN\ETC directory, SOCKS.CFG and SOCKS.ENV.
- The contents of these files should look something like:
- SOCKS.CFG
- direct 9.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
- sockd @=socks.austin.ibm.com 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
- SOCKS.ENV
- socks_flag on
- socks_user
- socks_domain ibm.com
- socks_ns socks.austin.ibm.com
- socks_server
-
- NOTE: When you enable socks support in OS/2 Warp version 4, it is not
- necessary to use the Netscape Navigator Network Preferences
- option to configure any proxy or socks gateway.
-
- NOTE: If you experience poor network performance from Netscape
- Navigator for OS/2 then try configuring the Socks or Proxy
- gateway directly in Navigator as described in sections 4.1 and
- 4.2 that follow.
-
-
- 4.2 Socks Gateway
- -----------------
- If you choose not to use the built-in OS/2 support for
- socks, or you are running OS/2 Warp 3.0, then use
- the Options Network Preferences to configure a socks
- server.
-
- Select Manual Configuration from the Proxies page of the
- Network Preferences dialog and select View... Enter the
- name and port number for your socks server in the socks
- server field. The port number for socks is usually 1080.
-
-
- 4.3 Proxy Gateway
- -----------------
- If you choose not to use the built-in OS/2 support for
- socks, or you must use a proxy gateway, then use the
- Options Network Preferences to configure a proxy gateway.
- The port number for a proxy is usually 80. Note that you
- must use the complete addtess for a proxy gateway.
- (for example: http://proxy.anywhere.com/)
-
- Select Manual Configuration from the Proxies page of the
- Network Preferences dialog and select View... Enter the
- name and port number for your proxy gateway in the HTTP
- Proxy field.
-
-
- 5.0 Reporting Problems
- ======================
-
- If you find a problem while using this release of the
- Navigator for OS/2, please contact IBM support
- by selecting "How to give feedback" from the Navigator's
- Help menu and complete the on-line form. If you cannot
- run the Netscape Navigator to submit the problem, you can
- use the WebExplorer or an alternate web browser and go to
- http://service.software.ibm.com/reg/netscp/probrpt-r to
- complete the problem report form.
-
-
- 6.0 Known Problems
- ==================
-
- The following problems occur in this release of Netscape
- Navigator for OS/2 Warp. If you find other problems
- please report them using the method described in section
- 7.0.
-
-
- 6.1 General
- -----------
- - If your video device driver is configured for 256
- colors, Netscape Navigator for OS/2 uses color
- palette management to display images. Sometimes you might
- notice the screen flickering as the color palette is
- modified for the displayed image. You can prevent this
- flicker by unchecking the Palette Aware option on the
- General Preferences Color page. If you do turn off this
- option, then you should also turn off palette management
- for the Workplace Shell using the System object in System Setup
- folder. If you have turned off the Palette Manager or
- have 16 or 256 color support, then some images might
- display with incorrect colors.
-
- - The Handbook menu option under Help takes you to a home
- page on the Netscape server. This handbook describes
- certain options that might only apply to the Netscape
- Navigator 3.0 for Windows.
-
- - If you are running either OS/2 Warp 3.0 or OS/2 Warp
- Connect 3.0, and you have not installed the
- Bonus Pack, you will get an error if you attempt to use
- any of the default Helper applications. The Helper
- Applications can be installed from the OS/2 Warp Bonus
- Pack.
-
- - The first time you attempt to show all newsgroups on a
- news server, the newsgroups will not be displayed. You
- should click on the news server minus (-) symbol, click
- on the plus (+) and then click on show all newsgroups
- from the pop-up or menu bar.
-
- - Undo is not supported in this release.
-
- - You may experience the problem of not being able to
- browse (scroll within) a Web page while printing.
- If this occurs, wait until the document has
- completed printing and then browse the page.
-
- - If you want to communicate with Netscape Navigator for
- OS/2 using DDE, you can find the DDE documentation at:
- http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/ddeapi.html
-
- - If you are in a field that is not visible on the
- screen and you press the Tab key to tab to the next
- field, which at the time is also offscreen, that
- field will not become visible. That is, tabbing
- from one field that is offscreen to another field
- that is offscreen will not bring it into view
- (on screen). To get around the problem, make
- sure that the field you are filling out is
- onscreen.
-
- - When saving a URL in which the target file contains
- multiple periods, all but the last are changed to
- underscores.
-
- - The Navigator does not discard the userid/password
- after receiving an error 500. That is, when the
- password has expired you will receive an error 500.
- However, you will not be prompted to enter your
- old password and new password. It will simply be
- reset if you try and load the URL again.
-
- - The Navigator does not print backgrounds when
- printing a URL.
-
- - The nickname field for address books cannot accept
- characters above ASCII 127.
-
- 6.2 Installation
- ----------------
- - Do not install Navigator from a directory name with a space in it.
-
- - If you are using the 4OS2 software package, the installation
- might not complete. Try double-clicking on the INSTALL.EXE from the
- folder that represents the directory from which you want to install.
-
- - If you intend to install the associated OS/2 Plug-In Pack
- (PLUGPACK.EXE), you should first ensure that you had
- removed the Beta2 version of the Netscape Navigator, if you
- have installed that version. One way to do this is switch
- to the Netscape Navigator Beta2 directory from which you
- performed the installation, enter INSTALL /A:D, and respond
- to the prompts. Then you can install the Netscape Navigator
- package, followed by the OS/2 Plug-In Pack.
-
- - The d:\OS2\DLL\PMDDEML.DLL system file (where d: is the
- appropriate drive) is updated during installation.
-
- 6.3 Preferences
- ---------------
- - There is no method to delete incorrect or invalid
- MIME types via the Helper App preference page of
- the General Preference notebook.
-
- - The Helper Apps preference page does not display the
- correct icon for Helper applications.
-
- - The following preferences do not take effect until you
- shutdown all Navigator windows including browser
- windows, news, mail, bookmarks and address book.

- - When dragging an item in the bookmarks or address book
- window, the window will not scroll.
-
- - If you drop a folder of URL links on the browser window,
- the links are displayed correctly but do not download
- the page when you click on them.
-
- - If you drop a color or font onto the Navigator window,
- the color or font changes by the change is not saved.
-
- - If you are running IBM OS/2 Warp version 4, dropping an
- image from the Image viewer application on the Netscape
- Navigator is not supported.
-
- - There are limitations if you set PM_DYNAMIC_DRAG to ON
