Exploring your Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Macintosh CD
The Internet Explorer 4.0 installer. This installer can be used on both PowerPC and 68K machines, and will install the following components: Internet Explorer browser, Outlook Express 4.0, Personal Web Server 4.0, NetShow 2.0 (PPC only), Java support, and essential and supplemental web fonts. If you don't want to install one or more of these components, simply choose "Custom Install" from the Install menu when running the installer.
Outlook Express 4.0 folder. Outlook Express is our brand new mail and news client for the Macintosh, based on Internet standards such as POP3, IMAP, NNTP, LDAP (to find people on the Internet), and MHTML (for HTML-viewing within the mail and news clients). It's an easy-to-use, powerful solution for all types of Mac users, and will automatically import your mail and address books from other email applications. If you'd like to install Outlook Express only (the Internet Explorer installer will also install Outlook Express), you can use either the 68K or PowerPC installers found in this folder.
Active Channel Previews folder. The favorites in this folder show off our new Active Channel support with one of the leading online content providers - pathfinder.com. Doubleclick on any of these pages in Internet Explorer 4.0 and view what Dynamic HTML and channels can do.
Office 98 Info folder. This folder gives you a peek at the upcoming Microsoft Office 98 for Macintosh. View the Office brochure in PDF or Word format, or doubleclick on the third file to view further information from the Mac Office web site in Internet Explorer 4.0.
