MICROSOFT VS. NETSCAPE, PART TWOTHE BATTLE CONTINUES. For the second time in a month, Netscape Communications has accused Microsoft of violating antitrust laws. In a letter made public on Aug. 20, Netscape lawyer Gary Reback asked the Justice Dept. to restrain Microsoft practices he contends are illegal. Reback says Microsoft gave discounts to computer makers that offer its World Wide Web browser instead of Netscape's and paid some Internet service providers up to $400,000 in marketing funds for not selling Netscape software. The allegations follow earlier Netscape complaints that Microsoft was trying to prevent customers from using inexpensive Windows software with Netscape programs. Microsoft calls the allegations ``wild and untrue.'' Justice won't comment. EDITED BY KELLEY HOLLAND
