Netscape 4.61 & CD-ROM burning software The newest version of Netscape should be released for OS/2 soon. We'll take a special look at the new Netscape 4.61 preview. WARNING: This is not your father's Netscape! The new Netscape not only provides web browsing capabilities and several other features, but in fact, now does a number of things quite well! Vice President Paul Wirtz will walk us through all of the new modules of Version 4.61. In addition to the traditional Netscape Navigator, we'll explore the features of Composer, the news reader, and Collabra components. Attend and you'll likely find out which utilities or applications you can now throw away. Also at the meeting Programming SIG leader Rollin White will give an overview of the software that's available for burning your own CD-ROMs on OS/2. After the presentations we'll have Q&A to get your computer problems resolved. Then a raffle and the Saturday SIG meetings: General Interest Group - will look Warp Enhancer, a Workplace Shell extender; Enviro, a PC hardware monitoring tool, and some of the SMP features of Warp Server for e-Business.
