  Product:           Netscape Navigator

If you want to be able to use the Netscape Navigator offline so you
can browse web pages without a live network connection, then the most
straightforward way to do this would be to make your cache very large
(by bumping up the "Cache Size" setting in the Netscape Preferences),
set "Check Documents" to "Never" (also in the Preferences), and visit
every page you'll want to see later so that those pages will get
copied into the cache.  (Note that imagemaps won't work this way,
because imagemaps are processed by the web server itself, so just
watch out for what you click.)

If you just want to use the Navigator to view HTML files on your own
hard drive, then there's no special preparation necessary; you don't
need to worry about caching.  Just start up the Navigator and use
"Open File" under the File menu to load in your local pages.

There is one caveat, however: Whereas the X and Macintosh versions of
the Navigator are perfectly happy to start up without networking
software loaded (although they may complain a little bit), the Windows
version will not start up at all unless it can find a "WINSOCK.DLL"
file.  To work around this problem, obtain the file "MOZOCK.DLL" from
http://netscape.1command.com, rename your copy of it
to "WINSOCK.DLL", put it into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then
restart Windows.
