NETSCAPE UNVEILS SOFTWARE SUITE FOR LIVE ONLINE APPLICATIONS

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (September 18, 1995) -- Netscape Communications
Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) today unveiled an array of open, secure
software products designed to enable a new generation of live online
applications that link people and information. Compatible with the growing
base of multimedia content available online, Netscape products create an
application platform that brings a new level of interactivity to users
accessing or sharing information over enterprise networks and the
Internet.

"The value of a networked environment goes far beyond enabling users to
browse simple text and images: the real power comes with the creation and
delivery of true interactive communications and applications, " said Marc
Andreessen, vice president of technology at Netscape. "Netscape's product
line provides an ideal platform for the creation and navigation of this
next generation of live online applications and content, enabling new ways
of communicating and conducting business within and beyond the
enterprise."

Extending its existing client/server software line, Netscape's new products
include:

NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR 2.0, a major new release of the widely popular Internet
navigator integrated with a suite of new features and Internet
applications including secure electronic mail and enhanced threaded
discussion groups. Netscape Navigator 2.0 provides the platform for live
online applications, supporting Live Objects, or interactive multimedia
content, such as Java applets, frames, and Netscape inline plug-ins.

NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR GOLD 2.0, a next-generation software tool that enables
everyone to create, edit, and navigate live online documents. The product
integrates WYSIWYG document creation capabilities into the Netscape
Navigator 2.0 environment, enabling users to publish content in real-time
that can include Live Objects;

NETSCAPE LIVEWIRE, a professional visual development environment for
creating, deploying, and maintaining entire online application systems.
Netscape LiveWire provides a powerful environment for developers who want
to create and maintain live content or live online applications for use
within an enterprise or across the Internet.

NETSCAPE LIVEWIRE PRO, which adds relational database connectivity to the
Netscape LiveWire development environment for creating online applications
with complete transaction and information management capabilities and easy
integration with existing databases.

With the addition of its new products, Netscape's client/server software
line provides an ideal platform for developers and content creators
building a range of networked applications. Last month, Netscape announced
the Netscape Development Partners Program for organizations developing
products or services based on Netscape technologies. The program offers
commercial and enterprise developers, creative and design professionals,
value-added resellers, integrators and consultants software, tools,
information, and support to make it easy to customize and extend Netscape
technology. More than 2,000 developers have joined the program and will be
creating or integrating applications using the Netscape application
programming interfaces and Live Object support.

Netscape's products are based on industry standards and protocols, and are
compatible with existing World Wide Web browsers and servers. The Netscape
products announced today are scheduled for availability from Netscape and
authorized Netscape resellers in the fourth quarter of 1995. The public
beta of the US English version of Netscape Navigator 2.0 will be available
later this week for downloading for evaluation use from the Netscape home
page at http://home.netscape.com.

In conjunction its new products, Netscape also announced that it will offer
an upgrade program that enables users to purchase Netscape Navigator 1.1
or 1.2 today and upgrade without charge to Netscape Navigator 2.0 when it
becomes available. Because it includes both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
versions of Netscape Navigator, the upgrade program lets PC users upgrade
to Windows 95 at their own pace. Upgrade pricing will be available later
this month.
