Netscape - LAN Workplace 5.0 for DOS/Windows

Netscape - the web browser. Not exactly something exclusive to LAN WorkPlace but its inclusion was probably significant for businesses as at the time Netscape was only free for home/personal use. Novell adding it to LAN WorkPlace meant businesses didn't need to go buy a copy separately.

The included version is 1.0.1. Novell claimed they'd provide updates for it but I've not seen any evidence they ever did. This version of Netscape doesn't implement the Host: header so it won't work with most websites today.

Screenshots

Its Netscape! With a weird Novell-supplied home page!

This is version 1.0.1 - ancient.

Thanks to the efforts of JWZ, all the toolbar links still work! The original Netscape website is one of the few left on the internet this browser can still handle due to its lack of support for the Host header.

This version of the netscape website is slightly older than the browser itself so it works perfectly.
