NETSCAPE GETS TOUGHTHE BATTLE OF THE INTERNET titans just exploded into a legal dispute. In an Aug. 6 letter to Microsoft and the Justice Dept., Netscape Communications' outside lawyer, Gary Reback, accused the software giant of violating antitrust laws. His charge: Newly announced licensing restrictions on Microsoft's Windows NT Workstation software unfairly limit use of Netscape's Web-site software. But that's not all. Reback, whose earlier efforts to curb Microsoft led to a Justice Dept. probe, says he soon may raise objections to Microsoft's deals with AOL and AT&T. Microsoft promised them prominent positions on its Internet connection site if they recommend that customers use Microsoft's Web browser. Justice wouldn't comment. Microsoft called Netscape's move a public-relations ploy. EDITED BY KELLEY HOLLAND
