Netscape Communicator Release and Installation Notes

Important installation notes

Removing existing versions of Netscape Navigator Gold
If you are installing Netscape Communicator 4.61 on UnixWare 7 Release 7.1 or higher, any existing versions of Netscape Navigator Gold will be removed automatically.

If you are installing Communicator on Release 7.0.0 or Release 7.0.1, you must manually remove the previous version of Netscape Navigator Gold, including the documentation package, before you can install Netscape Communicator (either as a separate package or as a component of the BaseWeb set). Use Application Installer or pkgrm(1M) to remove these packages. To use pkgrm, enter the following as root:

pkgrm nsnavAu; pkgrm NAVIdoc

See ``Installing, managing, and removing software'' for details.

If you are upgrading from a previous version, Netscape Communicator 4.61 installs silently over the old version.

Obsolete documentation removed
The Introduction to Netscape Communicator and JavaScript Guide have been obsoleted by Netscape and are no longer included with SCO Netscape products. If you installed this documentation with earlier Netscape releases, it will be removed when you install Netscape Communicator 4.61. The latest Communicator documentation is available from the Netscape Communicator Library. See also ``Documentation notes''.

Getting support for Netscape products
Support for the Netscape products is provided by SCO. Ignore any links or references that point to Netscape for support information.

Obtaining product updates
For product updates, patches, and other product assistance, visit the SCO Internet Family page.

Enabling SCO Strong Encryption Supplement
Customers in the United States and Canada are allowed to use strong encryption with the Netscape products. All the Netscape client and server products use 40-bit encryption by default when using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to communicate secured information. Strong encryption allows the use of 128-bit encryption between clients and servers.

The SCO Strong Encryption Supplement (``encrypt'') must be installed to enable strong encryption for all Netscape products on this CD-ROM. The installation of this product prompts for a license. You can purchase a license for the SCO Strong Encryption Supplement by calling 1-800-SCO-UNIX.


NOTE: The license can be used on all systems at your site.
