Best Internet Application Suite: Netscape Navigator 2.0 Sails To NewShores
NCSA's Mosaic established the Web browser as an Internet tool. Netscaperefined this tool and defined a market with Navigator. Netscape Navigator2.0 is poised to alter the industry, by sparking a revolution that turnstoday's conventional wisdom about safe technology choices, TCP/IP applicationssuites and client/server architectures upside down.
At first, Netscape Navigator 2.0 might appear to be just an evolutionaryenhancement of earlier products: It's simply a TCP/IP application that combinesWeb, FTP, gopher, UseNet News and POP-mail clients under a unified interface.While it lacks a Telnet clie
nt capability and the individual functions containsome weaknesses, it's as elegant and exciting an application as we've seenin many years. It redefines the TCP/IP applications market. But look deeperunder the covers of the Unix and 32-bit Windows versions and you'll findan engine capable of supporting Java, arguably the client/server languageof the future. Netscape Navigator is a strategic client for both Internetand intranet application development.
NetManage's ChameleonNFS v4.6 earned an Honorable Mention by offering atraditional suite packed with a capable stack and a variety of well-implementedapplications. Like NetManage, Frontier Technologies packages everythingbut the kitchen sink into its Internet application suite, but SuperTCP Suite96 adds a twist by shipping a single CD that includes versions appropriatefor use on Windows 3.1, Windows95 and Windows NT.
