ASAP WebShow Plug-in for Netscape 2.0 -- ASAP WebShow is the Newest in a long line of recent Netscape 2.0 plug-in entrants. WebShow is an inline presentation viewer that allows users to view, download and print graphically rich (but still quite compact) reports and presentations. ASAP WebShow lets anyone with the Netscape Navigator web browser view documents created by Software Publishing Corporation's ASAP WordPower report and presentation software package. WebShow is currently available in both plug-in and helper application versions for Windows 3.x and Windows 95 platforms. ASAP WordPower reports are replete with graphically rich pages, gradient colors and graphical objects like tables, pyramids, organization charts, audio and more, yet the reports are compactly stored reducing overall file size and eliminating the need for compression. For example, thirty graphical pages in a report can occupy as little as 11 Kb, giving even 14.4 users quick access to the power of WordPower and WebShow. The plug-in itself offers an excellent interface, including a toolbar for effectively managing presentations. Each report can be played inline (automatically or manually) from within a web page, resized to make use of the full web browser screen, or even maximized to make use of the entire monitor screen. Graphic integrity at each level is superb and play, 'rewind', 'fast forward', beginning, and ending buttons allow users to quickly navigate through a presentation. In addition, ASAP WebShow offers a 'quick jump' button for jumping to the page of your choice, much like a web bookmark or VRML viewpoint. While WebShow does lack the ability to actually create presentations, there is a trial edition of ASAP
