I know that the _intent_ is just that, but some of the code I have just
says "copyright 19xx Apple", which doesn't really help.  Fortunately, the
code I really used (the Electric Image stuff) has a very nice big license
thingy.  And it recently was updated for MacOSX as well.  Hurray!  Just
what the doctor ordered.

I'll look for it, and will try to have some fun with it.

A general note about the API documentation: I found a lot of it confusing
at first, but after I read the QT file format doc, everything started to
make sense :-)
