Article 149155 of comp.os.vms:
The next release (2.7-4) of the VMS port of NCSA Mosaic is now
available via anonymous ftp on wvnvms.wvnet.edu as a zip file
(MOSAIC2_7-4.ZIP) in [.MOSAIC].  Once it is unzipped, information
on how to build it is in README.VMS-2_7-4.  The build requires
a C compiler (either DEC C or VAX C) and supports UCX, MultiNet
and SOCKETSHR/NETLIB.  Although the build supports all versions
of Motif from 1.1 forward, the recommended versions of Motif are
1.2-3 with ECO kit 7 and 1.2-4.  The 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 any porting work being done by Digital and is not
related to the port provided as part of DECwindows Motif.  NCSA
is actively involved in this port and is currently in the process
of including the VMS changes in the base NCSA Mosaic code.

This release is, for the most part, bug for bug compatible with
NCSA Mosaic V2.7b4.  In particular, the HTML table support works
exactly as it does in the official NCSA Mosaic 2.7b4 release (i.e.
it is badly broken).  Table support is disabled by default but can
be enabled on the fly with the "Table Support" option setting.
The current NCSA implementation schedule calls for working table
support to be provided by this October.

The most visible improvements in this release are support for
background color and images, and graphical icons.
