NETSCAPE ANNOUNCES
NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR GOLD 2.0

---

Netscape Navigator Gold is among an array of Netscape products announced today that deliver a new level of interactivity to users accessing or sharing information on the Internet or enterprise networks. The new products expand Netscape's client/server software line, designed to link people and information, into a full application platform for enterprise networks and the Internet.

"Just as word processing software opened up the world of desktop publishing to anyone, Netscape Navigator Gold makes every online user an Internet publisher," said Mike Homer, vice president of marketing at Netscape. "Netscape Navigator Gold brings online communications to everyone by enabling users to not only navigate online content, but to also create, edit, and post hypermedia documents -- all from within the user-friendly Netscape Navigator environment."

Available for all popular desktop environments, Netscape Navigator Gold 2.0 integrates online live document creation capabilities into Netscape Navigator 2.0, a powerful and easy-to-use environment that combines secure point-and-click network navigation, electronic mail, threaded discussion groups, and other Internet services in a seamlessly integrated package. Netscape Navigator Gold lets users cut and paste or drag and drop elements onto a page -- just as they would in a personal computer word processing application -- and use the point-and-click capabilities of Netscape Navigator to post the document. Documents can be posted to a Web server or news group, or sent out as an email message.

In addition to the rich features of Netscape Navigator 2.0, Netscape Navigator Gold's Internet document creation capabilities include:

• True WYSIWYG HyperText Markup Language (HTML) editing integrated into the Netscape Navigator environment.
• Cut-and-paste text, image, and Live Object insertion, making it easy to create rich, live content.
• Visual form design, allowing users to create a form by just dragging and dropping elements such as text boxes, scrolling lists, navigation buttons and more onto a page
• Rich layout capabilities including support for Frames, a new page presentation capability in Netscape Navigator 2.0 that enables the display of multiple, independently scrollable cells on a single screen; and HTML 3.0 tables and backdrops.
• Netscape Inline Viewers support, enabling users to create documents that include multimedia data types such as Apple QuickTime movies or Adobe Acrobat documents. Users simply insert and position the multimedia data within the document.
• A program editor, allowing users to add support for HTML tags or other features not built into the Netscape Navigator environment.

In conjunction with Netscape Navigator Gold 2.0, Netscape also announced that it will offer an upgrade program that enables users to purchase Netscape Navigator 1.1 or 1.2 today and upgrade without charge to Netscape Navigator 2.0 or Netscape Navigator Gold 2.0 when they become available. Because it includes both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 versions of Netscape Navigator, the upgrade program lets PC users upgrade to Windows 95 at their own pace. Upgrade pricing will be announced later this month.

Netscape Navigator Gold will be available for Macintosh, Windows, and X Window System operating environments in the fourth quarter of 1995. The product can be directly purchased from Netscape and Netscape authorized resellers. Pricing starts at $79, which includes a 90-day warranty and customer support. Volume discounts are available for multiple user licenses.
