• DeLIver
  • Before using DeLIver you should get one of the following 2 files and install it on your Windows 95/NT system. Be sure to have any version of Netscape closed after the download, when you do the install. These files are local to VT to save you the time of downloading as per the U. Ill. instructions. The Panorama versions each take about 1.9M for the install package but less than 1M for the C: drive installed version: for Netscape 3 , for Netscape 4
