My copy of Netscape 0.94beta for Windows has a file date of 1994-11-22.

And from the Grail docs:
"Grail was started in August 1995 as a quick and dirty demo. It quickly 
became a serious project, as witnessed by the release of version 0.2 in 
November 1995, and again by the planned release of version 0.3 (currently 
in beta) in June 1996."
