Hi All. Hiho! I'm running just fine Netscape Communicator 4.61 beta on my OS/2 Warp 4.0 FP6 with Java 1.1.7. I downloaded it today Thursday, July 15, 1999, in few minutes, installed it without problems, compared the performance and in my personal opinion this fine release runs rather than the Netscape Communicator 4.61 for Windows that I'm using on my Windows NT 4.0 SP5. Yeahhh, finally IBM Team made an important goal in Netscape area!
