Netscape Communications of Mountain View, California have come through
with their promise to release the source code for the Communicator 5
browser and internet suite. As of today (March 31st) the source can be
downloaded from the various mirror sites Netscape has arranged at:

  http://www.mozilla.org/

Springing to life too are the various efforts to port this source to
OS/2. The "Warpscape" team, organized by the OS/2 Netlabs, updated
their page today with news on their plans:

  http://www.netlabs.org/warpscape/

Online discussion is also taking place on Efnet IRC in the channel
#warpscape.

The second effort, headed by Bill Law of Netscape, called "Warpzilla"
has yet to update their pages as of writing, but seem just as eager to
get moving as everyone else:

As of yet, no timeframe estimates have been given for a native,
grass-roots ported version of Communicator 5 from either group.
