Well, since many of you probably are using QV as a movie player for your
DOS system I wanted to ask you one thing.

To improve codec (and thereby the amount of moives) Sorenson decompresion
should be added to QV.
Please, if you think that this should be done send an e-mail to:
mcupal AT s-vision DOT com
and tell him that you want him to ad support for Sorenson to QV so that we
the DOS users can access all new QuickTime movies (QuickTime 3.0 movies are
often saved by using this codec).

He is NOT the author of QV! Only mail him about letting QV get support for
Sorenson decompresion.

We need support in DOS for all the new popular file formats that exists -
this is just one of them, RealAudio is another.

When I wrote he answered me:

If we all but our efforts together we posiblly can make him give Wolfgang
Hesseler the code he´s needing.
Thanks in advance (and please if you reply to this - don´t let all of my
message be in it - just the part you are reffering to).
