Plug-ins and Helper Applications
As mentioned previously, to access ASBDC.Net, all you need is an internet connection and a web browser. Because the number of file formats available on the internet is growing and no one browser program can interpret them all, there are various "helpers" to assist.

A "helper" is a program that works with the browser software to interpret various file formats common to the internet. A "plug-in" is a program which seamlessly handle certain file types within a browser. Plug-ins add features to a browser such that the added capabilities seem to be a part of the original browser program. They may allow you the ability to play audio files or view video movies from within the browser.

ASBDC.Net and partners use some helpers and plug-ins to provide content to members. Below are brief descriptions of the helpers used and links to sites where they can be safely obtained at no charge. (Be sure to follow the instructions on the linked sites for how to download and install the helper applications. There is usually more to it than just downloading a file, but it isn't difficult if you follow the instructions.)
