Thanks, Curtis.

I've been using the Player to browse through large (>1 GB) QTVR
objects, capture single frames, and build linear movies from cropped
and contrast-enhanced images.  So I think I need the player for this,
or else I would have to open the whole data set, and would lose the
VR interaction that makes it so much easier to do this task.

Best,
Bill
