so use Graphic converter then, There are plenty of programs that open
different file formats, QT3 just opens more than QT2.5
It doesnt have to replace it

The reason i buy Macs is because Windows is so shit, such a clumsy OS
unfortunatly i have to use them for development because that is what

QT3.0 since i downloaded it of the apple site has made life a hell of
alot easier for cross platform authoring
