- Important Notes About the Products
- ----------------------------------
- Nedit
- The IRIX released version of NEdit (The Nirvana Editor) has been updated from
- 4.0.3 to 5.1.1. Version 5.1.1 of NEdit features significant extensions to
- the regular expression syntax, an improved international character set input,
- new macro subroutines, improved syntax highlighting for several programming
- languages, and a host of other features. As such, NEDit is a very
- programmer-friendly GUI style text editor.
-
- Netscape Communicator Client
- Netscape Communicator Client 4.76 is part of the default distribution
- on this CD. Customers who only use the browser functionality (and
- not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to install the Netscape
- Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.76. From Software Manager, open
- /CDROM/dist/extras to install this product.
-
- Beginning with Netscape 4.76 the default browser is compiled N32 so
- existing Third party Netscape plugins will not work with the new N32
- browser. Several plugins do exist in N32 versions. Depending on
- which plugins you depend on you may want to install the O32 version
- of the browser. These are in non-default installed subsystems of
- netscape and netscape_lite.
-
