CHANGES from Mosaic 2.4.1 to 2.4.2
..................................

 o Multiple submit buttons support.
 o Closing of windows refixed (Exit confirmation pops up on last window now).
 o News page style improved.
 o Little patch for News protocol. (switch to 'mode reader' included)
   (Thanks to: Christian Treber <[email-masked]>)
 o Added '-speed <number>' argument, to slow down the spinning earth icon
   ( 1: normal, 2: half of the normal speed, 3: 1/3 of the normal speed ...)
   This is useful for most Linux architectures (there is was really too fast!),
   if the user wants to see that it is the earth which is rotating (and not
   just a 'something')
 o Added Imake stuff from Fish-search Mosaic, made some fixes, so it works
   just fine on tested architectures (c.f. README)
   (Original Imakefiles: Rainer Klute <[email-masked]>)
 o Added several features to Mosaic.cf file.
 o Added fish search source
 o Changed HTML-only functionality, so that really only http://*.html files get
   checked. (A better patch will follow later)
 o Fixed ftp-filedate function.
 o Finally fixed the stupid colorbug again. Thanx for all your complaining.
 o Fixed qsort() function calls!
 o Fixed fontSet resource initialisation
 o Fixed finger protocoll (was hanging up sometimes)
 o Edit source window advanced
   (Thanks to: Panagiotis Christias <[email-masked]>)
 o Added: MAILTO protocoll
 o Added TERM source

Changes from Mosaic 2.4 to 2.4.1
................................

 o Rewrote the source (libXmx, libhtmlw, libwww2, src) so that you easily can
   translate Mosaic into another language. (Using include-files)
 o Realized the -geometry option.
 o Fixed mo_post_exitbox() function, so that the Exit Confirmation box
   appears in the middle of the main window, not in the upper left corner
   of the screen.
 o Added -in option for iconName
   XResource: *iconName
 o Added -fq option for forceQuit (Exitbox does not appear at all on the last
   Window)
   Added resource *forceQuit as well.
 o Fixed testing of "internal-" prefix of image filenames. The images can
   be in another directory now. (Oh, I think this is really undocumented,
   this feature. If you have an image which name starts with "internal-" so
   the image won't get a border in the document window (even if it is a link).)
 o Fixed color initialising in colormap
 o Added Mosaic*fontSet XResource:
   If you set fontSet to a valid of the option/fonts-menu Mosaic will load
   this font on start.
   Example.: If you have
     Mosaic*fontSet: New Century Large
   or similar in your .Xdefaults Mosaic starts with the requested font.
   (Thanks to: Glenn Randers-Pehrson ARL|WTD|TED|TIB <[email-masked]>)
 o Added french include file
   (Thanks to: Nicolas Pioch <[email-masked]>)
 o Added finger protocoll
   (Thanks to: Andrew Brooks <[email-masked]>)
 o Show filedate and filesize in ftp documents, if available.
   If your system has the strptime() function, you should define HAVE_STRPTIME
   as a sysconfigflag in your Makefile(s).
 o Made source window editable.
   (Thanks to: Panagiotis Christias <[email-masked]> and
              Eric Bartley <[email-masked]>)
