Helper Applications for Windows

For Windows, you need a viewer for MPEG movies an player for audio files. You might also want a Telnet application. One site where these can be found is ftp://ftp.cica.indiana.edu, but that site can be difficult to reach. You can also try the mirror site at the DIGITAL Software Archive: ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/micro/msdos/win3/.

Please note that all of these applications are either freeware or shareware, and that their listing here does not constitute any guarantee by Netscape Communications that they will work with your system.
