Video On Line Browser -- This multilingual browser from Italy offers a first for web users -- over eighteen languages are supported including Czeck, English, French, German, Hungarian, Portugese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and a whole lot more. International netizens will likely rejoice at the multitude of languages supported, but apart from this unique feature, the Video On Line Browser leaves a lot to be desired. Missing features include FTP, news, mail, and tables support; caching and option preferences, transparent gifs, centering, and additional advanced HTML tags (font size, client side image mapping, frames, etc.). Overall, many users will initally be impressed with the VOL Browser, but the honeymoon will likely be extremely brief. Compared to other web browsers, Video On Line just doesn't match up in terms of features, speed, and overall ease of use. Pros: A multilingual browser with more than eighteen different languages supported Cons: Lacks support for tables and many other critical features, relatively slow New: No obvious new features in v1.3 Version Reviewed: 1.3 Date of Review: 2/16/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
