Browsers can be either text or graphic.
They read HTML coded pages that reside on a server and interpret the coding into what we see as Web pages. Netscape is a Web browser that is capable of displaying text and graphics as well as many other applications called plugins. The Department of IRM supports and distributes Netscape as the standard Web browser in the NT Desktop installation package . Although this is a text Web browser and does not display graphics, it is fast when retrieving and displaying information.
