A [proprietary] way to show animations on websites.

A format for showing animations as well.

An Open Source version of Motif. Motif is, among other things, a
software library that allows you to write software that looks pretty in
X Windows. Motif is closed source, and other libraries have come along
that function the way Motif does, but are Open Source.
> What is netscape plugins?
Programs that sort of "link" to Netscape (or vice versa) to do things
Netscape can't do. For instance, Netscape can't natively play
animations. So, depending on the type of animation (AVI, Flash, etc.),
you would need a plug-in that handles those in order to play the
animations while browsing in Netscape. Certain other kinds of programs
also use plug-ins for similar reasons.
