Welcome to Mozilla for OS/2 Release Candidate 2

Mozilla MUST be installed on a long filename partition (HPFS, JFS, etc.) NOT FAT!
A number of functions won't even work on FAT, like saving web pages. It is recommended
that you not use FAT for ANYTHING related to Mozilla.

Do NOT install it over an existing build. Completely delete the previous build and unzip
this one.

To add icons to your desktop, run MOZFOLD.CMD which is in the BIN directory.

By default, Mozilla creates a directory called "Mozilla" in the same directory as
MOZILLA.EXE and puts your profiles and user information in that directory.
If you would like to place the "Mozilla" directory in a different location, you
can set the environment variable variable MOZILLA_HOME. For example:

set MOZILLA_HOME=D:\MOZPROFILES

will cause Mozilla to put all its files in D:\MOZPROFILES\Mozilla.

The directory pointed to by MOZILLA_HOME must be on a long filename partition.

If you encounter a SYS2070 error when starting Mozilla, set BEGINLIBPATH to
point to the location of MOZILLA.EXE before starting it.

If you want to use Java, you must put the NPOJI6.DLL from Java 1.3 into the
Plugins directory. Do NOT use NPJAVA.DLL. If you do not have a MZPLUGIN.EXE
in the directory NS under where you installed Java, then you do not have
a version of Java 1.3 that includes the Mozilla plugin.

A new feature for developers has been added to this version. Mozilla writes
the location of the current profile directory to the OS2.INI every time it is
started. The Application is "Mozilla", the key is "Home".

Mozilla now uses MIME information from system and user mime.types and mailcap files if the appropriate
preferences are set. Example: 

user_pref("helpers.global_mailcap_file", "C:\\OS2\\mailcap");
user_pref("helpers.global_mime_types_file", "C:\\OS2\\mime.types");
user_pref("helpers.private_mailcap_file", "C:\\OS2\\.mailcap");
user_pref("helpers.private_mime_types_file", "C:\\OS2\\.mime.types");

Mozilla now supports external protocols like telnet. Check os2pref.js for an example.
