- The player for Quicktime under Windows is *EXACTLY* like the QT 1.0 version
- for the the Mac. You get a sound control that has a pop-up slider. a
- play/pause button, a slide-rule type slider, step forward/back buttons, and
- a resize button. Clicking inside the player window pauses playback.
- Dubl-click to continue.

- Reading through the API overview for QTW last night I remember coming
- across a passage claiming something like if you're familiar with
- programming QT for the Mac, than you'll be right at home with QTW.
- Functionality is very closely matched.
