Brad has gotten very busy with schoolwork and such, and is not working on
the player right now.
I *have* written a program to convert QuickTime movies to Movie Player
format. It is available at:
http://guelph.unna.org/incoming/MovieConverterRC3a.sit
There are also three Newton TV commercials in the /incoming/ folder that
have been converted to Movie Player format.
There have been some bug reports on the converter. Let me know if you have
any problems.
