Quarterdeck Mosaic v. 2.02 - README.TXT File Contents: ========= Section 1 - Requirements for using Quarterdeck Mosaic Section 2 - New Features in version 2.02 Section 3 - Changes to Documentation Section 4 - Troubleshooting Section 5 - Contacting Quarterdeck Section 1 - Requirements for using Quarterdeck Mosaic ====================================================== 1. A working Winsock based TCP/IP or SLIP/PPP connection configured for your PC. (We recommend using the QWinsock and Location Manager included with this software for dial-up connections). 2. An account with an Internet Service Provider. 3. Five megabytes of available disk space. Section 2 - New Features in version 2.02 ====================================================== Quarterdeck Mosaic 2.02 includes the following new enhancements added since the 2.00 and 2.01 release: - Added support for Cookies. - Added support for Spyglass API Registered Verbs. Support all Registered verbs with the exception of Register Protocol and Unregister protocol. - Added support for Client Pull. - Added support for Client Side Image Maps. - Enhanced HTML table support by adding support for table width, cell spacing and cell padding. - The user agent now identifies the browser as Mozilla 1.22 compatible and as Quarterdeck Mosaic 2.02. - Improved sound player controls. Section 3 - Changes to Documentation ===================================== The following items are things which have changed since the documentation was printed. - Mosaic 2.0 now includes internal sound viewers for these sound formats: au, aiff, midi, wav - The toolbar can be dragged from the top of the Mosaic window to the bottom of the Mosaic window, or it can float within Mosaic. However, it can not be attached to the right or left side. - Demand-dial with QWinsock. If QWinsock is selected as your default winsock, when you attempt to access the Internet, QWinsock will be launched automatically. If you are using another winsock in addition to QWinsock, you must manually launch QWinsock by clicking on the QWinsock icon in the program group. See QWinsock Help for more information. - Quarterdeck Mosaic includes a persistent cache which keeps documents and images in the cache from previous sessions. Therefore, when you re-visit a site, such as the White House Home Page (http://www.whitehouse.gov/) the large GIF image may be in the cache, eliminating the need to retrieve the image via the Internet. It will quickly load the image from disk. - On page 5 of the manual, under Hardware, Software, and Internet Connection Requirements: Should read: Microsoft Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT, or Windows 95. - On page 64, under Tools Menu/Empty Cache, text should read: Flushes (deletes) all documents from the cache except those which are currently in use. (Documents listed in the local history or currently displayed in an external viewer are not deleted when the cache is emptied.) By emptying the cache you can free up hard disk space being used by previously viewed documents. - On page 68, Printer Margins, text should read: By default, Quarterdeck Mosaic prints a header containing a document's title and URL in the top margin and a footer with the page number in the bottom margin. In this section you can specify how far from the top and bottom of the page you would like the headers and footers to be printed. (To disable printing of headers or footers, enter 0 in the Header or Footer field.) You can also specify the size of the top, bottom, right, and left margins by entering the desired measurements in the appropriate fields. - On Page 75, HTML Viewer Preferences, Styles: The following was omitted between Numbered Lists and Hypertext Links: * Bullets - what character to use for bullets in bulleted lists. Section 4 - Troubleshooting =========================== QMosaic fails to find your CD-ROM drive: Install determines the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (C,D,E, etc...) during installation. This information is stored in the QMOSAIC.INI file, which is typically found in c:\inet\qmosaic. It is stored as a text string in that file: CDROM=n where n is a number. The values of n are Drive A=0, B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4 and so on. For example, if the CD-ROM drive is drive E, the setting in QMOSAIC.INI would be: CDROM=4 Section 5 - Contacting Quarterdeck ================================== Quarterdeck Corporation relocated to Marina Del Rey, California in October 1995.
