About RMIT

Faststone 4in1

This is another IE-based product so IE users will find it all fairly familiar. Note that the IE-based browsers will normally share the IE history files and "favorites". New address requests are automatically opened as new tabbed windows. It does not, however, have a built-in search toolbar or zoom functions.

Besides the standard browser features, however, Faststone 4in1 can also act as a HTTP Web server and also has screen capture facilities. The screen capture can be used on any part of the screen, but you can't minimise Faststone once the capture process is initiated, which limits its use. The fourth feature (4-in-1) is an FTP client, but this is a fairly standard browser feature.

This is another free software package, so don't expect too much backup. There is a support e-mail address -- customers purchasing Faststone wares will presumably get some sort of reply. Faststone gladly accepts both criticism and monetary support for the improvement of their wares. For Windows users only.
