QuickView Plus 8 An App for All Occasions Forrest Stroud
HTML pages aren't the only type of files you'll discover during your forays through the Internet, but they are one of the few file types that a Web browser can handle on its own. That's where the idea of plug-ins and helper applications come in.
Unfortunately, though, these apps generally work with only one type of file, meaning that you'll need a separate client in order to view or print each type of word document, spreadsheet, database, presentation, graphic, or compressed file encountered on the 'net.
Now imagine a single client with the ability to handle all of the above types of files and more — over 225 file formats, in fact. Difficult to believe, but the aptly named QuickView Plus is like having the features and capabilities of hundreds of applications condensed into one super-deluxe application.
This combination plug-in/ActiveX control/helper application is actually the commercial release of its venerable sibling, the generic QuickView client originally included with Windows 95/98. QuickView Plus adds many features not found in the original client, and at the same time provides support for a ton of file types not offered in the regular version.
