The next release (2.6-2) of the VMS port of NCSA Mosaic is now
available via anonymous ftp on wvnvms.wvnet.edu as a zip file
(MOSAIC2_6-2.ZIP) in [.MOSAIC].  Once it is unzipped, information
on how to build it is in README.VMS-2_6-2.  The build requires
a C compiler (either DEC C or VAX C) and supports UCX, MultiNet
and SOCKETSHR/NETLIB.  The build procedure (MAKE_MOSAIC.COM) now
uses MMS or Madgoat's MMK by default, but will do a complete
in-line build if neither is installed.  File README.BUGS in the
anonymous ftp area contains the latest information on any bugs
and bug fixes for this release; please check it before reporting
problems.

Please note that this port of Mosaic is a completely separate
effort from the porting work being done by Digital.  It is not
the port which is provided as part of DECwindows Motif.

This release is, for the most part, bug for bug compatible with
NCSA Mosaic.  In particular, the HTML table support works exactly
as it does in the official NCSA Mosaic 2.7b2 release.  Table support
is disabled by default but can be enabled on the fly with the "Table
Support" option setting.  Please do not report perceived problems
with table support to the VMS-MOSAIC mailing-list unless Mosaic is
aborting or reporting an error.
