NCSA Mosaic FAQ: General Information

# General Information

### Where can I get NCSA Mosaic?

NCSA Mosaic is available at ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Mosaic. Both source code and binaries (for Sun, SGI, IBM RS/6000, DEC Alpha OSF/1, and DEC Ultrix) are available. (You don't need to have Motif installed on your system to run NCSA Mosaic, if you pick up a precompiled binary. You do need Motif 1.1 to compile NCSA Mosaic, though.)

### Who developed NCSA Mosaic?

Eric Bina and Marc Andreessen at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications developed most of NCSA Mosaic.

The CERN World Wide Web project (in particular, Tim Berners-Lee) developed the client library and communications code that NCSA Mosaic uses and created the conceptual framework within which large parts of Mosaic reside. Many other people have contributed to NCSA Mosaic's development by sending us bug reports and comments.

### Where's the documentation?

### Is NCSA Mosaic supported?
