I think you're confusing it with the browser called 'Web Explorer' which
was written at IBM and given away with their Internet Access Kit for OS/2
Warp.
Nope. It was IE. It was back when the Internet was just starting to be a
big thing. I think maybe 1993 or 94? I saw it in an article in an old
computer magazine (PC-World?) article that was comparing OS/2 browsers.
There was IBM's, IE, Netscrape, and a few others. I knew it was a while
ago, because how many articles do you see comparing OS/2 software anymore?

Hmm. I beta'd Warp in summer '94. I don't think Netscape was even at 1.1
then. Plus IE was released with Win95, in September 1995, and wasn't much
of a product then. I remember distinctly nobody caring about IE until 3.x
Everybody had been waiting for Netscape to release for OS/2, even after I
stopped using OS/2 at the end of 1996. Also, there was distinct resentment
on the part of loyal OS/2 users when it finally DID get released, because
Netscape was at 3.x and the OS/2 version would only be 2.02 and thus not
support Java.

Actually, Netscape 2.02 did support Java via the Java in OS/2 Warp 4.
Worked great with Merlin. Netscape 2.02 was primarily supposed to go
with Warp 4 rather than Warp 3.
Anyway... Netscape 4 is out and runs nicely on Merlin as well.
