    <P>Customizable browser maker <A 
    href="http://www.neoplanet.com/";>NeoPlanet</A> tomorrow will demonstrate 
    consumer-focused software built around Mozilla's &quot;Gecko&quot; rendering 
    engine.
    <P>While only a technology preview, it will be downloadable from the 
    NeoPlanet Web site. And the shipping version, due in May, will beat <A 
    href="http://www.aol.com/";>AOL's</A> own version of Communicator, which is 
    due in beta by July and in a final version by year's end.
    <P>Mozilla.org is the group shepherding the open source development of the 
    Communicator browser code. Founded by <A 
    href="http://www.netscape.com/";>Netscape Communications</A> in January of 
    last year and now funded by Netscape's and Communicator's acquirer AOL, 
    Mozilla has been stymied by its inability to turn around a usable browser in 
    more than a year of working on the released code.
    <P>Part of Mozilla's troubles have had to do with a lack of outside 
    developer contributions. Contrary to the group's hopes, the lion's share of 
    the Mozilla work is still done by Netscape/AOL engineers.
    <P><FONT color=#000000>But NeoPlanet's move should help both on the shipping 
    product and developer contribution scores. Not only will NeoPlanet release a 
    product based on Mozilla's code, but it will assign four full-time employees 
    to work on the open source project. <U><STRONG><FONT size=3>Its first

    firm can use what Mozilla develops in its own products. NeoPlanet plans to 
    use the Gecko browser engine, <A 
    href="/News/Item/0,4,29588,00.html">released</A> in a developer preview last 
    year, but only as an alternative to <A 
    href="http://www.microsoft.com/";>Microsoft's</A> Internet Explorer browser 
    engine, which it uses now.
    <P>NeoPlanet's users, which recently topped 1 million in number, will be 
    able to switch back and forth between the two engines.
    <P>NeoPlanet characterizes its product as a &quot;browser/portal.&quot; The 
    browser carries its own client-side directory of 1,000 popular Web sites, 
    and lets users customize the user interface and other options.
    <P>Coincidentally, Mozilla is also working on a technology that will let 
    users customize their browsers' interfaces, Extensible User Interface 
    Language, or <A 
    href="http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,34314,00.html";>XUL</A> (pronounced 
    &quot;zool&quot;). NeoPlanet said it would examine XUL as it develops to see 
    if it's worth implementing in the NeoPlanet product.
    <P>NeoPlanet is not the first third-party developer to implement Mozilla's 
    work, though it is the first consumer browser maker to do so. Another 
    Mozilla user is Citec's DocZilla browser, 
    which supports not only <A 
    href="http://www.cnet.com/Resources/Info/Glossary/Terms/html.html";>HTML</A> 
    and <A 
    href="http://www.cnet.com/Resources/Info/Glossary/Terms/xml.xml";>XML</A> but 
    XML's parent markup language Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
    <P>Another third party utilizing the Mozilla engine is set-top box maker <A 
    href="http://www.telecruz.com/";>TeleCruz Technology</A>.
