MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (October 25, 1995) -- Netscape Communications
Corporation today announced Netscape Power Pack 1.0, a suite of add- on
applications that extends the capabilities of Netscape Navigator for
Windows. Combining Netscape SmartMarks, Netscape Chat and multimedia
add-on applications from Adobe Systems, Inc., Apple Computer, Inc., and
Progressive Networks, Inc., on a CD-ROM, Netscape Power Pack lets
customers easily take advantage of five leading add-on applications that
enhance the capabilities of Netscape Navigator.

"Netscape Power Pack appeals to Netscape Navigator customers who want the
most out of their Internet experience," said Dave Rothschild, director of
client marketing at Netscape. "With these add-on applications, customers
can use advanced bookmark capabilities, take part in interactive chat
forums, and easily access a wide range of multimedia content including
video and sound that are currently available on the Internet."

Netscape Power Pack underscores Netscape's commitment to make Netscape
Navigator the leading open platform for Internet solutions. "By investing
in open standards and cooperative efforts with third-party developers,
Netscape can continue to deliver advanced Internet solutions such as
Netscape Power Pack to its customers," said Rothschild.

The five add-on applications included with Netscape Power Pack are:

** Netscape SmartMarks, which enables users of Netscape Navigator for
Windows to easily monitor and organize their favorite Internet addresses.
Netscape SmartMarks lets users receive automatic notification of changes
to Internet sites; search popular Internet directories, including Yahoo,
with one point-and-click interface; and, organize housands of bookmarks
into folders with descriptive names. Developed by First Floor Software for
Netscape, Netscape SmartMarks also supports "bulletins", a new and open
HTML extension that enables Web page designers to send short notices to
Netscape SmartMarks users who monitor their site.

** Netscape Chat 1.0.1, a powerful tool that enables users of Netscape
Navigator for Windows to conduct interactive discussions real- time with
other Internet users who share their interests. Users can select multiple
chat communication modes including personal conversations (one-to-one),
group conferences (many-to-many), and moderated auditoriums (one-to-many).
Netscape Chat users can concurrently view web pages in their Netscape
Navigator window, dynamically and remotely leading one another to Internet
sites during chat discussions. Netscape Chat also supports IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) standards for compatibility with a wide range of other chat
products and servers.

** Adobe Acrobat Reader 2.1, which enables users to view the wealth of
documents distributed in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).
Visually-rich "WYSIWYG" documents, complete with graphics and type, can be
viewed and printed to PostScript or other printers. Documents can be
searched and magnified to find needed information and PDF documents can be
easily shared with other Windows, Macintosh and UNIX users.

** Apple QuickTime 2.0.3, which enables users to play multimedia movies
with video and sound. Users can view full-screen 30-frame-per- second
movies; high-quality still images can be viewed; and, compressed (4-to-1)
sound can also be listened to at high-quality (16-bit). QuickTime can be
used with many Windows applications, including Netscape Navigator and
Adobe Persuasion, and supports Windows MCI (Media Control Interface) and
OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for interoperability with other
applications.

** Progressive Networks RealAudio Player 1.0, which enables users to listen
to sound over the Internet in real time. Sounds can be played instantly,
without waiting for a file to download completely; full control can be
maintained by starting, stopping and pausing sound playback; and, any
section of a sound file can be jumped to instantly. RealAudio Player works
with sites that employ the RealAudio Server, which supports sound playback
in real-time over the Internet.

distribution channels. Additionally, users can purchase Netscape Power
Pack directly from Netscape by calling 415-528-2555 or through Netscape's
