            Welcome to Netscape Communicator

 Netscape Communicator includes all the software you need
 to get started on the Internet:

 * Netscape Communicator, a suite of 
   Internet software that lets you explore the World Wide Web, 
   send and receive email, read online newsgroups, and more. 

 * Account Setup, a program that lets you set up an Internet account
   so you can get connected to the World Wide Web right away. If you
   already have an Internet account, Account Setup lets you set up
   Communicator so that it can use your existing account.

 * Connection software that enables your computer to connect
   to the Internet. 

 * Complete online documentation and Help.


 To use Communicator, follow these steps:

 instructions provided in this document and in the Installation
 Guide that accompanies the software.

 2. Use Account Setup to create an Internet account. Account
 Setup can help you create an account with an Internet service
 provider right away. If you already have an Internet account,
 you can use Account Setup to set up Communicator to use your
 existing account. See the Installation Guide for complete instructions.

 3. Connect to your account and explore the World Wide Web.

 Before you begin, make sure your computer meets the system
