Most likely (remember, this is speculation), we'll make it so ATM runs
under Executor first.  I believe you can download ATM from Adobe these
days for free.  In a similar vein we'll probably get QuickTime to work
(it's included with many programs) before we implement our own version
of it.  Beyond getting INITs and CDEVs to work well enough to run ATM
and QuickTime we *may* work on our own support for the features that
ATM and QuickTime present, but that would have to be done by a
separate team of engineers, a team that we don't yet have.
