Installation Instructions
As always, it's considered good practice to temporarily disable any virus detection software or non-essential Extensions or Control Panels prior to installing new software on your Macintosh.
1. Download the ".bin" file to your Macintosh. If you are using Netscape Communicator to download the software and your machine is correctly configured, Netscape Communicator will automatically run the correct program to decode the ".bin" file. If not, you will need to use one of the many utilities which can decode MacBinary files, we recommend something in the StuffIt family of products, such as "StuffIt Expander™".
2. To install Netscape Communicator 4.5, open the folder "Communicator 4.5 Installer". Open the Netscape Installer folder and run the Netscape Installer, or simply double-click on the * Start Here * icon.
