Web Browsers

Accessing Help on UNIX requires a web browser that supports Java and JavaScript. The most common UNIX operating systems provide a copy of either Netscape or Mozilla. All versions of Mozilla should be compatible with the Help.

Unfortunately, the Netscape version included in some versions of Solaris and IRIX may not be adequate.

If that is the case, you can download self-contained installations of Netscape 4.79 (for both Solaris and IRIX) and versions of Mozilla 1.4 (for Solaris 8 and IRIX) below. These browsers are verified to work, and can be either installed locally for a given user or shared across your site.

More recent versions of Netscape for the Linux platform are available from:

More recent versions of Mozilla for various operating systems are available from:
