- NCSA Mosaic for the Macintosh - 1.0.3 Release
-
- NCSA Mosaic is COPYRIGHTED by the University of Illinois.
- See copyright notice in the ftp directory and on-line.
-
- What is NCSA Mosaic
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- NCSA Mosaic is a distributed hypermedia browser designed for
- information discovery and retrieval. It provides a unified interface
- to the diverse protocols, data formats and information archives
- used on the Internet.
-
- Basic Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- For those of you behind Firewalls: We are starting a Firewall
- mailing list in hopes of trying to solve the problems associated here.
- To join this list, mail the developers and put FIREWALL in your
- subject line.
-
- To run this tool you will need the following; System 7.0 (or higher),
- MacTCP (2.0.4 is preferred - 1.x has bugs that will result in memory
- problems) and a network connection (Apple Remote Access can be
- used through a modem for the network connection).
-
- NCSA Mosaic should function on all types of Macintoshes, including
- the SE and the Classic.
-
- NCSA Mosaic is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
- (141.142.20.50) in directory /Mac/Mosaic as NCSAMosaicMac.103.sit.hqx
-
- The NCSAMosaicMac.103.sit.hqx has been stuffed using Stuffit 1.5 and
- has been encoded using Binhex 4.0. You can un-binhex and un-stuff the
- file using any utility which handles these compression schemes. If you
- don’t have one try StuffitExpander (it nicely handles both schemes)
- located in the Mac/Mosaic directory. In order to un-binhex the expander
- follow the directions in Binhex.README located in Mac/Utilities.
-
- Also read the QuickStart Installation Guide, QuickStart.Txt, in
- the Mac/Mosaic directory.
-
- Bugs and Improvements for 1.0.3: (For a comprehensive list of
- features check the Macintosh home page.)
-
- Bug Fixes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- - There were several bugs that caused serious CRASHES. These have been fixed.
- - Reloading during an image load has been fixed.
- - Preferences bug has been fixed.
- - Styles bug has been fixed.
- - FTP would fail if there was a character with ASCII > 128 in response string.
- - When load of image failed for some reasons (memory, bad gif), the file would not be deleted.
- This is now done, resulting in a cleaner Temp folder.
- - XBMs didn't read the last line causing some XBMS to not read correctly.
-
- New Features
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Improved Speed
- - Non-anonymous ftp works now. The syntax is file://user:password@host/
- - Anonymous FTP is now more robust.
-
- Please Send comments, suggestions and bug reports to
- mosaic-mac@ncsa.uiuc.edu. You have been a great help in making
- Mosaic a good, stable application.
-
- Enjoy
