Hi everyone,

Please post all replies to the navigator conference. Please Read this
in its entirety prior to downloading any software.

We are opening up testing of the new Wildcat! Navigator installer, and
the new Java Chat client to the public. We feel these are ready, but
would like to get a broader feedback since these will be run on a very
great variety of systems. THIS IS STILL A TEST. If you run into problems
with this, you will need to be able to figure out what the problem is
and supply us with detailed feedback. If you are unable to do this, DO
NOT download these tests. Wait until further testing is finished, and
these items are made generally available.


When reporting back success, failure or problems with the installation
or usage, please provide:

Description of problem.

Remember, this is not for reporting or requesting any updates to the
Navigator itself.

JavaChat Instructions

Download javachat.exe from area 201. Run it from your wc5 directory.
This should extract to your http\wcnav directory all files required for
the java component. You will need to edit your
wc5\http\template\wcnav.htm file and change all occurrences of 'mustang'
to 'winserver'.

Fixed in JavaChat

User names appearing multiple times.
Word wrapping implemented.

Wilcat! Navigator Instructions

No Fixes or Updates have been done to the navigator. This is only an
installer update to deal with the various installation issues
encountered with the current installer. This contains the latest
Navigator components supplied with the 477 AUP.

This navigator may not work with modems that create special comm ports,
such as ESP and HSP modems. We are currently looking into a report on
this.

Download wcnavtst.zip from area 201 and extract to a temporary
directory. Run setup.exe. This setup will work on all platforms, win3.1, win95, win98, win98se, winnt, and even windows2000 RC2. No Browser is supplied with this setup, nor are we intending to create browser
installations at this time.

Files for diskette distribution will be supplied when testing is
complete.

Custom Navigators

Currently you will not be able to build a custom navigator through our
online system that will work with this new installer. However, if you
have already built, and installed a custom navigator, you can use files
from that installation to create a custom installer from this.

1. replace setup.bmp and setup16.bmp with your setup images
2. place wccustom.dll, your custom.exe and wccustom.ini in the same
directory as the setup.exe

wccustom.ini should have lines like the following:
[Custom Connector]
INSTALLDIR=c:\custom
INSTALLNAME=custom tester
INSTALLEXE=custom.exe
