Esker Enables Netscape Browsers to Run ActiveX Controls

Lyon, France and Stillwater, Okla. (PROTEXT) - Esker today announced that it is making available a free plug-in that it has developed that adds ActiveX control support to WIN32 Netscape Navigator. With this plug-in, users of Netscape browsers can run Web applications containing ActiveX controls that were previously unavailable to them.

The Esker PLUS 3.0 plug-in may be distributed and used at no charge to run Esker PLUS Web-to-host ActiveX controls as well as any other ActiveX controls. Esker will provide support for the plug-in only to licensed Esker PLUS 3.0 users.
