- ARDI _is_ amazing.
-
- With regards to QuickTime, I recall that there was one free animation file
- viewer available for X11 that supported playing QuickTime movies.
-
- Apple complained that they were violating a patent or something - So the
- authors had to REMOVE the quicktime support from their application!
-
- So ARDI should expect problems from Apple if they put Quicktime support
- in Executor. My guess is that the ONLY way that Apple would let you run
- Quicktime under Executor is if you BOUGHT Quicktime from Apple and it
- worked in Executor.
-
- It kinda makes you wonder how serious Apple is in trying to make
- a standard, when they don't let anyone use it.
