Netscape Netcaster dynamically delivers intranet and Internet information to user desktops. With Netcaster, Netscape Communicator users can subscribe to a content "channel" - a content source much like a broadcast TV or radio channel - and receive content that they can view offline. Netcaster's broadcast, or "push," capabilities enable users to receive constant information updates in the background while they are working on other tasks. Netcaster is part of Communicator for Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh PowerPC, and Unix AIX. Please read the frequently asked questions page for more information on Netcaster and the developer's guide if you want to become a broadcaster.
