Software updates browser with 128-bit crypto; U.S. and
international solutions available.

“In a rare combination of events, LinuxPPC Inc. and Fortify Inc.
both released software that strengthens the encryption technology
in the LinuxPPC version of Netscape Communicator. Between the two
releases, LinuxPPC worldwide users can enjoy strong 128-bit
encryption in their Netscape browser.”

“The two updates differ widely in their form and availability.
LinuxPPC’s update is in the form of an entirely new version of
Netscape that has 128-bit encryption built in. However, it is only
available for download inside the U.S. and Canada. Fortify’s
software upgrades a user’s existing browser, and is available to
everyone outside (and inside) the U.S.”
