I've gotten word of two downloadable versions of Mozilla--the pre-alphaversion of Netscape Communicator 5.0--that are currently available. It'spretty likely that others are available as well; if you hear of any,please let me know.

The first is a 3.5 MB download that requires you to have a valid NetscapeCommunicator 4.0 install. You can get this one from an FTP site

Also available is a 128-bit version from Australia that doesn't require aprior 4.0 install. This version is now available from the Cryptozilla Web site.

Some notes on these builds: they are not very stable, though I had verylittle problem with either on Windows 95 (oddly, they were worse off, forme anyway, in Windows NT). Since this is an early build, the renderingengine and basic UI appears to be straight out of Navigator 4.0. Still, ifyou've got to have the very latest and want to put it through the paces,then this is it.
