JMA SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES SHIPS WEBNAVIGATOR 1.1 FOR OS/2 VERSION 3 AND 4
Gotheburg, Sweden, December 16, 1996 -- Today, JMA Software Technologies
started to ship updated WebNavigator 1.1 (formerly HTMLview). WebNavigator is
a Internet web browser and HTML document viewer built to be compact and easy
to use.
Features include online and offline browsing, news and mail support,
internal/external downloads, select a new link while a document is loading,
easy to use QuickList and others.
WebNavigator 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 ?
WebNavigator 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 users - that most users prefer separate mail and news
clients. Therefore WebNavigator is built to be a quick an compact browser
though is supports mail and news.
WebNavigator 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 feature browser and mail/news client. WebNavigator
is not built to compete with that. On the other hand the current Navigator for
OS/2 is a 2,8 MB file while WebNavigator is around 100 kb. Many of our users
use both browsers.
But the most compelling reason for WebNavigator is that you can influence the
features. Try calling IBM or Netscape and ask for a specific feature, our
browser (WebNavigator) is built on what our testers asked for.
To summarize, WebNavigator 1.1 contains among others the following features.
o Browse the net Online.
o Browse your HTML document offline.
o Internal and external (plugin) ftp/download.
o Integrated Mail and News.
o Select a new link while another is loading.
o Built for speed and compactness (EXE file around 100kb).
o Easy to use QuickList.
o We also offer customized versions !
WebNavigator 1.1 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.
This upgrade is free for registered users of HTMLview 1.0.
