The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Internet GIZMOS® For Windows®':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
I'm not quite sure how they come up with their numbers on the front cover, but inside there are chapters talking about thirty-nine packages of software for Windows or Windows NT. These are, variously, demo programs, shareware and freeware. The book chapters appear, for the most part, to be portions of the documentation for the programs. The printed material is not always clear about what the packages are, and what they contain. Do the Spry, Distinct and Frontier samplers come with SLIP software? What does "X-ray" actually do? Is "Sticky" just another form of email? Installation instructions are also problematic. The Trumpet WinSock seems to have SLIP capabilities, but the text keeps referring to network cards and drivers. This is particularly tragic, since almost all of the other programs require WinSock. The introduction states that the printed material should help you evaluate which packages to try. In some cases, the detailed documentation provides a good overview, but, in many cases, you won't know much more after reading a chapter than when you began. Since all of these packages appear to require a direct Internet connection, either dial-up IP or a dedicated network link, it could be argued that installation instructions are not needed, since you will be able to call on the services of your Internet provider's customer support, or the network support within your company. In that case, however, the bulk of the material available here will already be accessible online. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995
