download a copy
of Netscape Navigator</A> for evaluation, or for unlimited use in academic or not-for-profit environments.
<P>
If you wish to purchase the Netscape Navigator and associated support for ongoing use, you can <A HREF="../../MCOM/ordering_docs/index.html">order directly</A> from Netscape Communications Corporation.
Send mail to <A HREF="mailto:sales@mcom.com">sales@mcom.com</A> for more
information.
<P>
You can also find more information about the <A HREF="../how-to-get-support.html">various support programs </A> we offer.
If you are running NCSA Mosaic for X Window System, the easiest way to import hotlists into Netscape is to use the included <A HREF="../../people/jwz/hot-convert">
<TT>hot-convert.sh</TT></A> shell script. When you run that script, it
will read in your xmosaic hotlist, and append the contents to your
Netscape bookmarks file. Restart Netscape.
<P>
Another option is to bring up your Hotlist dialog in NCSA Mosaic for X Window System and choose <I>Mail To</I>. Mail the hotlist to yourself: it arrives in HTML
<DT><B>Why do I get the error "Cannot connect to Host"?</B>
<P>
<DD>This error might have several causes, including any of the following:
<P>
1. Your system might be behind a firewall.
<P>
If your system is behind a firewall, in order to connect to home.mcom.com you need access to a Socks or Proxy server. Check with your network administrator to get the details of the Socks or Proxy server being used.
<P>
2. The host you are trying to connect to may be down.
<P>
3. You may be having problems with your SLIP or PPP connection. Contact your Internet service provider or network administrator.
<DT><B>I have more than 100 entries in my bookmark list. The pull-down menu just goes off the screen. Is there a way to set the number of bookmarks displayed?</B>
<P>
<DD>No. However, you can adjust the layout of the bookmarks list by creating categories.
<P>
Bring up the Bookmarks dialog and add a "header". Then select the item under that header and select "Up". The header will serve as the name of a cascading sub-menu. This way, you can divide your bookmarks into categories, and fit a larger number of bookmarks on the screen. Here is some additional information on <A HREF="../manual_docs/menus.html#RTFToC0">using the bookmarks dialog box</A>.
document text in either indented or non-indented styles while mailing it from Netscape?</B>
<P>
<DD>Yes.
<P>
The "Include Document Text" option can be used to cite small portions of text in your responses since this option indents the text with > marks.
<P>
In Netscape Navigator for Macintosh you can use the "Attach: Text" option to forward an entire message. This option will MIME encapsulate the text with Content-Type: text/plain, giving the user on the other end the ability to extract the original, unaltered document.
<P>
In Netscape Navigator for X Window System, you have the option of using "Attach:Text", "Attach:Source", or "Attach:PostScript".
<DT><B>How do I get WAIS requests to work with the Netscape Navigator?</B>
<P>
<DD>You have to use a WAIS proxy. Use the Preferences option under Options and click on "Mail and Proxies" to set a WAIS proxy.
<P>
The <A HREF="http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Status.html">CERN httpd proxy server</A> has WAIS support. So, if you use it to get through your firewall, you can use WAIS URL's under Netscape Navigator.
You can use it as your WAIS proxy even if you don't have
a firewall.
<P>
Also note that WAIS is generally accessed through a gateway. <A HREF="http://www.wais.com">WAIS, Inc</A> for example, gives its customers gateway software. You can also find out more information about <A HREF="http://cnidr.org/cnidr_projects/freewais.html">freeWAIS</A>.
<DT><B>Does Netscape Navigator work with Windows for Workgroups?</B>
<P>
<DD>Yes. We have tested Netscape Navigator with Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Please note that the Wolverine TCP/IP stack doesn't support a modem connection to the Internet.
<P><DT><B>Can I use the INI files from my NCSA Mosaic for Windows with Netscape Navigator for Windows?</B>
<P>
<DD>Yes. You can copy mosaic.ini file to netscape.ini file.
<P>
Here are some of the things to watch out for when you do this:
<P>
Be sure to add fields for "History File" and "File Location". Be sure to convert your NCSA Mosaic Hotlist entries to Netscape Navigator Bookmarks. <A HREF="#f4">Here are the instructions</A>.
<P><DT><B>Why do I have difficulty viewing HTML source documents using an external viewer?</B>
<P>
<DD>Netscape Navigator 0.96 for Windows has a bug that prevents the use of an external viewer to view the HTML source document.
<P>
The workaround is to use the Netscape Navigator itself as the viewer. This effect can be achieved by leaving the View Source field blank (under Supporting Applications in the Directories, Applications, and News preference).
<DT><B>Could you explain why Netscape Navigator running on my Sun platform has occasional problem with $DISPLAY setting? Other programs don't have this trouble.</B>
<P>
<DD>This could be due to DNS/YP loss. The $DISPLAY contains a hostname that Netscape can't resolve.
<P>
Use the IP number (for example 123.45.6.7:0) to work around this problem.
<DT><B>Why does the AIX version of Netscape Navigator fail to start with errors about "_XmStrings undefined"?</B>
<P>
<DD>This version of Netscape Navigator was linked against AIX X11R5 and Motif 1.2. You are probably running X11R4 and/or Motif 1.1. The suggested solution is to upgrade to a more recent version of the OS.
<DT><B>Why can't I select text on a greyscale monitor?</B>
<P>
<DD>All text in Netscape Navigator can be selected. If you have a Macintosh and a greyscale display, then you may not be able to see the selection. This will happen if the color you've chosen for selected text looks like light grey, our background color. You can work around this problem by opening your Control Panels folder and using the Color window to choose an even lighter color, such as "Yellow", or a darker one, such as "Red". On a greyscale display these will come out as shades of grey, of course, but they will be sufficiently lighter or darker than our window for you to tell when you've selected text.
<DL><DT><B>Why does Netscape Navigator 1.0 for Macintosh generate errors if I click on the Stop button?</B>
<P>
<DD>This is a known bug. If you press the Stop button while Netscape is looking up a host name, error messages (including "Unable to locate host") are displayed and Netscape stops working correctly.
<P>
The workaround is to quit Netscape and restart it. This problem will be fixed in the next release of Netscape.
