JMA SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES SHIPS WEBNAV 2.0 FOR OS/2 VERSION 3 AND 4
Gothenburg, Sweden, March 23, 1998 -- Today, JMA Software Technologies
shipped a major update of WebNav. WebNav 2.0 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 treebased quicklist and others.
But what about WebExplorer and Netscape Navigator ?
WebNav 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 WebNav is
built to be a quick an compact browser even though it supports
mail and news. WebNav allows you to use your favorite external
program for things like mail, news, frames and java.
WebNav is quite similar to WebExplorer. They both use the same API
and share many features. WebExplorer has not changed for a long time
and IBM has publicly stated that WebExplorer will not be enhanced.
Therefore many users see WebNav as the next versions of WebExplorer.
Netscape Navigator is a fullfeature browser and mail/news client.
WebNav is not built to compete with that. On the other hand the current
Navigator for OS/2 is a 2,8 MB file while WebNav is around 150 kb.
Many of our users use both browsers.
However the most compelling reason for WebNav is that you can influence
the features. Try calling IBM or Netscape and ask for a specific feature,
our browser (WebNav) is built on input from our users.
To summarize, WebNav 2.0 contains among others the following features.
o Browse the net online and view HTML documents offline.
o Internal and external (plugin) ftp/download/mirror/frames/java.
o Integrated Mail, News and HTML to text conversion.
o Select a new link while another is loading.
o Built for speed and compactness (EXE file around 150kb).
o Easy to use treebased quicklist.
o A presentation mode that allows you to browse fullscreen.
o We also offer customized versions !
WebNav DLL and Internet Adventure
WebNav is also availible as a DLL that can be called from other programs.
Internet adventure (http://www.inetadv.net/) is a popular internet suite
for OS/2 ships with a somewhat limited bowser. With WebNavDLL you can
replace the builtin browser in IA with the full WebNav browser. This DLL
is free for registered users and can be downloaded from our web site.
Please note that WebNavDLL is still in beta.
WebNav 2.0 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 runs for 20 minutes at a time but
you may run it as many times as you like during the 30 day trial period.
