DESCRIPTION
WinWeb is a World Wide Web client which uses hypertext, or hypermedia
where references within a document are links which lead users to other
documents, lists, resources or actions. The World Wide Web supports
the display of text, graphics, sound, and video. It is also a tool
through which Internet users can access information using from various
other Internet front ends, navigators, information, services, and
resources.
WINWEB FEATURES
16 Bit Program - WinWeb works with the current versions of
Microsoft Windows and does not require the installation of the
Win32s subsystem.
Performance - WinWeb uses a unique two-level cache to maximize
performance. Documents can be quickly revisited without any
network overhead.
Hotlists - WinWeb provides a Hotlist dialog box for saving frequently
used documents and revisiting your favorite information sources.

menu.
