InnoVal Announces Availability of NetExtra for Netscape Navigator and IBM
WebExplorer
Harrison, New York - September 20, 1996 - InnoVal Systems has announced the
availability of Post Road NetExtra, a navigational add-on for both the
Netscape Navigator for OS/2 and the IBM WebExplorer. The product will begin
shipping on Monday, September 23. Existing pre-release orders and new orders
will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.
"NetExtra is for everyone who surfs the Web," said Dan Porter, President of
InnoVal Systems Solutions, Inc. "It's so cool. That is the best way to
describe it. This shows what you can do with OS/2.
"You have easy access to any Web page you have ever visited. The persistent
jump list and unlimited monthly archive logs record every URL (web page
address) you ever visit while NetExtra is running. Then you can easily find
them or return to them at any time, whether five seconds later or five years
later. Our powerful search function lets you find any string in the URL title
or address in all archive logs or within a specific time frame.
"You can store any URL from the jump list to any bookmark folder, creating and
organizing your folders and subfolders in whatever way you like. You can even
give a URL a nickname. This nickname lets you go to a URL without typing its
whole name.
"The jump lists, bookmarks, nicknames, and archive lists maintained by
NetExtra can be used interchangeably with both browsers. We have even
provided a feature to allow you toggle between the two browsers and
automatically synchronize both browsers to the same Web page.
"With sticky notes, you can remind yourself what a web page is about or what
you found particularly interesting about it.
"NetExtra also has powerful "local agents" for downloading a series of web
pages while you're doing something else. For example, CacheUp lets you
retrieve selected jump list entries or even an entire folder of bookmarks to
your hard drive, all at once, for faster viewing once you're ready to do so.
"PageMining agents let you download not only single or multiple web pages, but
also up to three levels of the links referenced from them as well. Then you
can browse these "mined" pages at your leisure, whether you're still connected
to the Internet or not, without losing the ability to reach the linked pages.
If you remain connected, you also have access to the linked pages that were
not downloaded.
"Built-in conversion routines allow you to convert the WebExplorer quick list,
Netscape Navigator bookmarks, and WebExtra bookmarks to NetExtra bookmark
format. It couldn't be easier," said Porter.
Systems requirements for NetExtra correspond to the systems requirements for
the browser it is being used with. Only "official" betas and general
availability releases of the Netscape Navigator and current releases of the
IBM WebExplorer are supported. New releases of NetExtra will be available to
users for download from the NetExtra home page.
