Misc. Software 11-29-99 Give your children a Net starter kit Company: Microviet Version: 3.1 Size: 7.61 MB Requirements: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or 5.0 and Windows 95, 98, or NT Purchase Information: Free Microviet Kids Explorer is a multipurpose password-protected software package designed for kids. It consists of a word processor, Internet Web browser, FTP client, email client, news client, drawing program, zip/unzip utilities, and financial calculator. In ability and complexity, the word processor is somewhere in between WordPad and MS Word. It allows you to insert objects such as drawings, and includes a spell checker. A toolbar provides access to commonly used features, such as justification, font characteristics, color, and Clipboard operations. The Web browser window loads a page designed by the author with lots of kid-related Website links. All in all, Microviet Kids Explorer seems like an odd mix of very broad-based functions. The word processor is too complex for young children to negotiate, the zip and FTP utilities are even more difficult, and then there's the financial calculator, which isn't half bad, but seems a rather odd addition. The drawing program pales in comparison to the MS Paint utility that ships with Windows. The single component that seems truly aimed at children is the Web browser, which puts a fine collection of kid-related links at your disposal.

Other tools and features include tabbing of multiple open files, extended find/replace, hexadecimal color conversion, tag stripping, special characters palette, the ability to create a template from the current file, and more.
