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

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
