Netscape 1.x

Netscape Navigator/Communicator was the first commercial web browser,
displacing the free NCSA Mosaic. 1.0 was first released in December
1994, and initially offered advanced features such as progressively
rendering pages as they loaded. It quickly gained many other features
and capabilities and became the most popular web browser in the mid
1990s. One reason for its popularity, it was licensed freely for
personal and non-profit use, although companies were expected to pay
for a license. It later competed with Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Opera, and Safari, and eventually was open sourced in to the Mozilla
browser.

Many other versions of Netscape can be found on the Sillydog Archive
and the Netscape FTP. Some earlier versions can be located on the
Mcom.com Archive.

Wanted: Genuine floppy/CD dumps - these often differed slightly from
the free download versions.

Release notes

"You're about to embark on a journey across the Internet, and
Netscape is your vehicle. Netscape Navigator(TM) opens a world of new
media applications, such as online publishing and information access,
interactive shopping, and distance learning. It also allows
organizations to communicate more efficiently with customers,
suppliers, partners and employees."

Netscape Navigator (often referred to as just "Netscape") is a tool
that retrieves hypertext documents over the Internet, renders them on
your screen, and enables you to easily "browse" them. This version
also includes the ability to access Usenet newsgroup and SMTP e-mail
servers.

At release Netscape Navigator 1.0 competed against NCSA Mosaic. Over
Mosaic, Netscape offered the ability to see documents and images as
they load, loading both images and text at the same time, support for
JPEG graphics, document caching, a friendlier GUI with more
configuration options, and hierarchical bookmarks.

Like other browsers of the time, Netscape Navigator was commercial
software. However, Netscape Corp differentiated their product by
making a version freely downloadable for personal use.

Note: The freely distributable versions were branded as version
"1.0N", and were functionally identical. The version posted below is
the commercial "1.0" version.

Also note that 1.0 can not connect to much these days.

Installation instructions
