JMA SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES SHIPS HTMLview 1.0 FOR OS/2 VERSION 3 AND 4
Gotheburg, Sweden, November 4, 1996 -- Today, to celebrate the birthday of its
founder and chief programmer JMA Software Technologies started to ship
HTMLview 1.0. HTMLview is a Internet web browser and HTML viewer built to be
compact and easy to use.
Features include offline and online browsing, downloads, select a new link
while a document is loading, easy to use QuickList and others.
HTMLview is also available in customized versions. If your company has need
for a specialized and/or featured restricted web browser please contact us for
more information.
But what about WebExplorer and Netscape Navigator ?
HTMLview is not built to be the all in one Internet application. WebExplorer
and Navigator both tries to incorporate as much as possible but we found out -
asking our beta testers - that most users prefer separate mail and news
clients. Therefore HTMLview is built to contain the browser part and be a
quick an compact browser.
HTMLview is quite similar to WebExplorer. They both use the same API and share
many features. WebExplorer has not changed much the last year and IBM has
publicly stated that WebExplorer will not be enhanced.
Netscape Navigator is a full featured browser and mail/news client. HTMLview is
not built to compete with that. On the other hand the current Navigator for
OS/2 is a two megabyte monster while HTMLview is < 100 KB. Many of our testers
use both browsers.
But the most compelling reason for HTMLview is that you can influence the
features. Try calling IBM or Netscape and ask for a specific feature, our
browser (HTMLview) is built on what our testers asked for.
To summarize, HTMLview 1.0 contains among others the following features.
o Browse the net Online.
o Browse your HTML document offline.
o Select a new link while another is loading.
o Built for speed and compactness (EXE file < 100kb).
o Easy to use QuickList.
o We also offer customized versions !
HTMLview 1.0 ships as Trial and Registered Editions. The Registered Edition
lists for USD $25. The Trial Edition is a free trial version that might be
evaluated in 30 days. The Trial Edition has a timeout and has limitations on
its features. Any use after the trial period requires you to register.
Unregistered use after the evaluation period is illegal.
The Trial Edition is available for download from our world wide web site and
from several public ftp sites.
