URL: http://www.sausage.com
List price: $US69.95
The Australian-designed and developed product, HotDog Pro
was one of the first of the HTML editors that made Web
design easy and fun. Version 2.0, however, was slower and
encumbered by an awful interface. Fortunately, version
3.0 of HotDog 3.0 regained much of the ground lost by
version 2.0.
HomeSite 2.0
:HomeSite for Windows 95 version 2.0 sports a tidy three-window interface that reveals surprising power for its price.
Internet Explorer 3.01
URL: http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie.htm

Microsoft recommends that users of version 3.0 upgrade to this minor upgrade/bug fix. An excellent Web browser which surpasses Netscape -- but only just -- in terms of ease of use. See our Guide to Choosing a Web browser for more details.

URL: http://www.netscape.com
Rating: 9/10
