	In the Apple// world I'm unaware of a Quicktime player. I'm pretty sure 
the clockspeed of the fastet Apple// (14MHz with a hacked Transwarp 
accelerator is the last I've heard about) is just a little too slow for 
this. I do remember hearing abour being able to convert them to 
something. I don't know the details.

	FYI, There is a program called MPlayer which works with Linux. It can 
play virtually any kind of video as long as the proper codec is 
installed. This includes Quicktime files as of a couple of months ago. 
Since it is open source, you can probably adapt it to what ever computer 
you want.
