                 Installation Instructions
==================================================================

* Installation

   Atlas Preview Release Version is being distributed as both a
   16-bit Windows program and a 32-bit windows program.

   If you are running Windows 3.x or WFW, you MUST use the
   16-bit Navigator even if you have Win32s installed. If you are
   running Windows 95 or Windows NT, use the 32-bit Navigator. To
   run the 32bit Navigator, you MUST have a 32-bit TCP/IP stack.
   Both Windows 95 and Windows NT provide 32bit TCP/IP stacks
   that you can setup.

   To obtain a copy of Netscape Navigator, first download one of
   the self-extracting executable files into a temporary directory

        for 16-bit : atls16s2.exe (With PLUG-INS)
                   : atls16m2.exe (Without PLUG-INS)
        for 32-bit : atls32s2.exe (With PLUG-INS)
                   : atls32m2.exe (Without PLUG-INS)

   For 16-bit users, first double click on the self-extracting
   file in the File Manager, then run the setup.exe program to
   install Netscape Navigator on your machine.

   For 32-bit users, double click on the self-extracting file
   to start the installation.

* For Win95 users, if you are using any versions prior to this
  release, you will get multiple uninstall entries in your
  Add/Remove program.  If you prefer not having multiple
  entries, you should do an uninstall to remove your previous
  version of Netscape before you install the new release.

* NAPLAYER, the Netscape audio player, will only work if you have
  a sound card installed and configured properly. It will not work
  with the PC speaker driver. Please check your sound card manual
  to configure the sound card.

* CoolTalk is enabled in both 16-bit and 32-bit version. There are
  problems running Cooltalk with Matrox MGA Millennium graphic 
  adapters using early Windows95 drivers. Make sure that you are 
  running version 2.22.039 or above.

* CoolTalk and AVI Plugins in 16-bit version requires Video for 
  Windows. 

* Video for Windows is recommended to take full advantage of the 
  Multimedia features. You can download Video for Windows from
  ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/navigator/atlas/pr2/windows/

* For Information about Live3D, please read the Release Notes 
  under "Help-->Release Notes".

* Java is enabled in 32-bit version only.

* Please delete or rename your old CACHE directory and
  Netscape.hst file.

==================================================================
                        Running Netscape
==================================================================

What do I need to run Netscape Navigator?

You must have a direct Internet connection before you can use
Netscape. The ability to send and receive e-mail does not
necessarily mean you can run Netscape. There are three
requirements for Netscape Navigator:

    1. A direct Ethernet connection to the net, or a dialup
       SLIP or PPP account from an Internet service provider.

    2. TCP/IP stack

    3. Netscape Navigator software

You can get a direct connection to the Internet through a service
provider in your area.  You will need to get a SLIP or a PPP
account from an Internet provider (for a dialup account).

When you have full Internet connectivity, you need to have a
TCP/IP stack, dialer, and WINSOCK.DLL file.

If you get the error message "Cannot find WINSOCK.DLL" when
running Netscape Navigator, this means your computer is looking
for the WINSOCK.DLL file that is part of a winsock package.

==================================================================
                         International
==================================================================

The Netscape installer will overwrite existing OLE2 DLLs with the
latest versions for US Windows. This will not affect 32-bit
Windows. For 16-bit Windows, the only difference between the US
and the Japanese versions are the internationalization of error
strings. Occasionally, the Japanese user may see an English
language OLE2 error message after installing Netscape. Currently,
there are no Japanese versions available for the OLE2 DLLs.
Netscape is working with Microsoft to make the Japanese version of
the OLE2 DLLs available.
