Hi,
as it seemed you were going to hit every door on the MAC exhibition,
you may have seen Quicktime for win3.1 on the PC ?

Is it already out ? Can we on the PC have a look at Quicktime video
clips under win3.1 or OS/2  ???

Anybody who knows is welcome to drop me some mail.

Best regards Stefan Hartmann.
