                    Installation Instructions



==================================================================



For Mac OS and Windows users, it is strongly recommended that you

exit all programs before running the setup program. Also, you

should temporarily disable virus-detection software.



Install into a clean (new) directory. Installing on top of released

product builds may cause problems.



*Installation Instructions -- Windows

	

	1. Click the NetscapeSetup.exe link to download it to your 

	machine.

	

	2. Double-click the NetscapeSetup program icon on your machine

	to begin the Setup program.

	

	3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Setup program.



You do not need to restart your machine once the installation 

process has completed.



*Installation Instructions -- Mac OS



	1. Click the Netscape6Installer.sea.bin link to download it

	to your machine. 

	

	By default, the download file (compressed, in .bin format) 

	is downloaded to your desktop.

	

	If the downloaded file does not expand automatically, you 

	must expand the file using a program such as StuffIt Expander.

	If you don't have StuffIt Expander, you can get a copy by

	visiting:
