Plug-in modules greatly enhance the power of existing apps, most commonly your oft-used web browser. These apps add value by making even more features available at your fingertips than your web browser already offers. Netscape is by far the most successful web browser at getting third parties to create plug-in modules for their browser, but Microsoft is closing the gap quickly. The current fare of modules offers unprecedented features in web browsers, including real-time audio and video (at the same time!), custom OLE controls for a Javaesque experience, Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) browsing, and more. Look for plug-ins to be one of the hottest areas of development during the upcoming months. If the currently available modules are any sign of the future, multimedia on the 'net will never be the same again... The following are brief descriptions of each application featured on the Plug-in Modules for Windows 3.x and Windows 95 pages.
