The largest part of this book is identical to Krol's "The Whole Internet User's
Guide and Catalog" (cf BKKROL.RVW).  New Windows 95 specific meterial has been
added to the chapters on email, the World Wide Web, telnet and ftp.  As well,
there are appendices on establishing a network connection with Win95 (both with
and without MSN (Microsoft Network)), MSN itself, a comparison of Internet
Explorer and Netscape, and special attention to online resources for Win95
users.
 
The basic Inteernet material is as clear as ever.  The Win95 content is
likewise easily understandable for Internet users who are new to the operating
system.  This book could act as a realistic introduction to the Win95 tools as
it not only gives operating details but also analyses shortcomings and
limitations.  The appendix on establishing an Internet connection is
particularly useful.
 
(I did note some minor discrepancies between actual Win95 screens and the
content in the book.  This may be due to discrepancies in Win95 itself: MS
support people have given odd information in regard to similar features.)
 
Both a good introductory Internet guide for Win95 users and a helpful review of
the Win95 Internet functions.
