Plug-ins are vital add-ons to Netscape and the Web, allowing additional software and media types to be read and used over the Web. Since the majority of people obtain Navigator for free, they don't have any documentation or a guide for setting up and using the plug-ins. Covering plug-ins for Navigator 2.0 and 3.0, this book explains how to add, configure and optimize plug-ins in order to hear sound, view 3D images and create portable Web documents. It also lists where to obtain plug-ins and the best Web sites on which to test them. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the most popular and important plug-ins, including RealAudio, WebFX, Shockwave and VDONet.
