Netscape Navigator 4.03 Standalone is now available.  It includes ONLY a
web browser (no news, email or other client software).  Look for it on
http://www.netscape.com/download/client_download.html or if you're feeling
brave, ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.03/shipping/english/
(browse from there for Mac, OS2, unix or Windows versions)

Navigator 4.03 doesn't include any security software, so the disk would be
wide open to any manner of unautorized/unwelcome software...
