Beta version 0.13 of NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System, a networked
information systems and World Wide Web browser, is hereby released:

                            .../xmosaic-binaries/xmosaic-sun.Z

                            .../xmosaic-diffs/xmosaic-0.12-0.13-diffs.Z

This release of NCSA Mosaic is known to compile on the following
platforms:

  SGI (IRIX 4.0.2) 
  IBM (AIX 3.2)
  Sun 4 (SunOS 4.1.3 with stock X11R4 and Motif 1.1, and GCC).
  DEC Ultrix.

More binaries will be supplied as I am able to find other
Motif-configured platforms to use.  (Contributions of working
binaries, or development systems, are welcome.)  Documentation is
available online.

Changes since 0.12 include:

 o Fixed occasional mysterious coredump in startup routines. 
 o Fixed occasional stupid coredump in freeing document text. 
 o Fixed silly coredump on accessing malformed URLs like
   ftp:/tcp/xxx.yyy.zzz.www. 
 o Fixed URL parsing choke on accessing URL 'test.html#foobar' as
   an initial program argument. 
 o Added system() call error reporting. 
 o Changed default anchor representations: blue and single solid
   underline for unvisited, dark purple and single dashed underline
   for visited. 
 o Jumping from 2nd+ document page to 1st document page in a
   single document via anchors works now. 
 o Various glitches with scrollbars, document pages, etc. fixed. 
 o New toggle-button options (caseless, backwards) in File->Search
   window. 
 o File->Search doesn't put search results on top line of window. 
 o Use of -l flag for rlogins restored. 
 o Built-in finger interface with faces support (thanks, Marc V of
   IU!). 
 o Miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanups. 

Thanks as usual to everyone who's been contributing comments and bug
reports -- keep 'em coming!

Cheers,
Marc & Eric
