MS Internet Explorer 3.0A & ActiveX SDK MS's Internet Explorer 3.0 Alpha is a "sneak preview" of the next incarnation. Its next-generation features include programmability support through ActiveX Controls and Scripting, frames, DocObj hosting, and enhanced HTML table support. This release is intended primarily for application developers who wish to experiment with the new programmability features. As a browser, it is stable enough for limited use, but the user interface is somewhat incomplete and several functions are not yet available. This is meant only as an upgrade for existing MSIE programs on your system...If you want to use this and you don't already have a copy of MSIE, you have to get one first! The final catch is you have to download the MS ActiveX Development Kit which is a 12Meg download to get the new version!
