NCSA Mosaic provides a consistent and easy-to-use hypermedia-based
interface into a wide variety of networked information sources,
including Gopher, WAIS, World Wide Web, NNTP/Usenet news, Techinfo,
FTP, local filesystems, Archie, finger, Hyper-G, HyTelnet, TeXinfo,
telnet, tn3270, and more.
This release of NCSA Mosaic is known to compile on the following
platforms:
SGI (IRIX 4.0.2)
IBM (AIX 3.2)
Sun 4 (SunOS 4.1.2 with stock X11R4 and Motif 1.1).
DECstation 5000-200 (Ultrix).
DEC Alpha (OSF/1).
Rumor has it that Mosaic will compile on systems like:
Hewlett Packard HP/UX 7.x, 8.x, 9.x.
Dell SVR4
Sun Solaris 2.x
SCO Open Desktop
Harris Nighthawk
NeXT BSD
Documentation is available online.
Changes since 1.0 include:
o Hotkeys in document view windows.
o Color leaks and glitches in inlined image support fixed.
o Support for TMPDIR environment variable, as well as resource
tmpDirectory and command-line flag -tmpdir, for specifying
location of tmp directory for transient data files.
o Added GUI-supported modification of hotlist entry titles.
o Added ISMAP tag support to IMG tag (courtesy Tony Sanders).
o CSO phonebook support (courtesy Lou Montulli).
o Added printing/saving straight to PostScript (courtesy Ameet A. Raval).
No support for images yet, though.

sometimes) in document page handling.
o Two spaces between sentences in pretty selections now.
o SGML comments are now ignored.
o Updated copyright notice.
o Documentation hyperlinks point straight to new NCSA server.
o Mosaic can now be remotely controlled via signals by a parent process;
e.g., to allow use as a browser for context-sensitive help from another
application. More information coming...
o Default rgbViewerCommand is now 'xv' on non-SGI platforms, since xv
3.0 now handles SGI RGB files.
o New WAIS interface document, pointing to NCSA gateway.

o <cite> now supported.
o <blockquote> now supported.
o <var> now uses italics.

between paragraphs, between headers and paragraphs, etc. in the HTML
widget.
o Fixed coredump when starting Mosaic with home page a directory with
no slashes in the specification.
o Added recognition of '.gz' for gzip'd files, as per GNU change.
