   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:

   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
