TECH TALK: OS/2 WARP

Has Netscape refreshed Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp?

Yes. Just go to Software Choice (http://www.ibm.com/software/swchoice/) to get the following refreshes:

• Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp
• Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp with Strong Encryption
• OS/2 Plug-In Pack 2.1

The refreshed Netscape Communicator 4.04 includes:

• Support for OS/2 Warp Developer Kit for Java Edition 1.1.7
• 16-color support for OS/2 Warp Servers and older devices
• Various fixes for known defects

You can differentiate the refresh by selecting “Help” from the action bar, then selecting “About Communicator...” The title bar should display “Netscape - Version 4.04 (language) - 990212.” This date indicates that the refresh is installed. (The first release of Netscape Communicator 4.04 was dated “980928.”)

Note that Netscape Communicator for OS/2 Warp Plug-in Programmer’s Toolkit is not being refreshed (but it is available at http://www.ibm.com/software/os/warp/netscape/).

Is Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2 Warp 4.1.1 for WorkSpace On-Demand available yet?

Yes, SmartSuite has been updated and documented to run in a WorkSpace On-Demand environment with this refresh. Current users with maintenance contracts automatically receive this update.

Note that installing in the WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0 environment is different from installing on a file server. Complete instructions for installing SmartSuite for OS/2 Warp 4.1.1 in the WorkSpace On-Demand 2.0 environment are available in the READWSOD.TXT file located in the root directory of the SmartSuite CD-ROM.
