Netscape Communicator Preview

NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR DEVELOPER PREVIEW RELEASE 2

DEVELOPER PREVIEW RELEASE 2
(EXPIRES MAY 15TH 1997)
FOR WINDOWS 95/NT, MACINTOSH PPC AND SOME VERSIONS OF UNIX
EARLY COMMUNICATOR DEVELOPER PREVIEW RELEASE 2 AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FOR DEVEDGE GOLD MEMBERS
As a valued DevEdge Gold member, we're making an early build of Preview Release 2 of Netscape Communicator available. We're providing you another opportunity to preview Communicator to assist you in your development planning efforts for the new feature set.

This is an early release of the public PREVIEW RELEASE which means it is not feature complete or fully functional. On most platforms, the mail and discussion group functionality is more functional than the web browsing and developer/API extensions. Please use the product accordingly. Future releases will have more features implemented and will be more appropriate for product testing. The release notes are currently being updated and will be available soon, so please continue checking the Netscape Web site for the latest information.
