Communications, this is a fast and full-featured browser that has
quickly become by far the
most
popular Web browser currently in use. If you're feeling particularly
adventurous, you can

longer makes available free copies of previous versions, although you can
purchase copies of final release 1.1 at the
Netscape
General Store for U$39. The fully documented and supported
Personal Edition is available for U$44.95, and includes dial-up
access through a number of ISP's.
Key features of
Netscape 2.0
include client-side imagemapping; progressive JPEG rendering; Netscape
Plug-Ins for streamed audio and video; integrated e-mail and threaded
news; enhanced document formatting tools including multiple,
simultaneous, independently-scrollable Frames; and support for
Java applets.
