Computer Labs) at the University of Toronto.
They are not to be
redistributed. Please refer
internal requests for use of the applications to

PCPine
4.21:
PC Pine 4.21
replaces version 4.10. PC Pine 4.21 and it's
associate files are compressed in the file
icpine421.exe.
icpine421.exe should
be extracted into a READ ONLY directory. The
included pinerc file
must be installed READ ONLY. The executable
getconfig3.exe must be
run as a front end to the actual Pine program,
icp.exe.
Getconfig3.exe runs
Pine with the appropriate command line options. We
recommend that you use a Pine icon for the
Getconfig3.exe
shortcut you place on the desktop.
The major changes
in Pine 4.21 include improved filter performance,
interface tuning (i.e. changes to avoid accidental
deletion of mail) and numerous Text/HTML parser
improvements.
Netscape
Navigator 4.08 Stand-Alone:
Please read the
UTC-Netscape
agreement before installing
Netscape.
Netscape Navigator
4.08 replaces version 3.01.
Netscape Navigator 4.08 is a stand-alone web
browser -- email and news functionality have been
removed. Please install on Windows95 or 98
Operating Systems.
Installation:
Installation is straight forward -- just download
and execute the binary n32e408.exe. To
further reduce functionality, you may consider
choosing a Custom install for Setup Type and delete
the Netcaster component during the installation
process.
Configuration:
Before making
Navigator 4.08 available in your PAF,
- On first run,
set up a default profile.
- Make all the
necessary changes to the preferences
configuration (i.e. set an appropriate home
page).
- Exit from
Navigator and delete the preferences dll:
prefui32.dll.
This disables Preferences under the Edit
menu.
- Under
Netscape/Users/default, delete the Mail and News
directories. Make the bookmark.htm file
Read Only and Hidden.
- Delete the User
Profile Manager shortcut.
- To prevent
users from altering your default wallpaper, make
the file C:/Windows/Netscape Wallpaper.bmp Read
Only.
