COOL Quicktime discovery!

[Shari]

I've created a Windows standalone from an existing file.  There are 
custom Quicktime visual effects that work on Mac, but did not work on 
Windows.  So I accepted that for Windows, they don't get the cool 
visuals that Mac got.

The new incarnation of Metacard/Revolution lets the custom visual 
effects work on Windows!

I wasn't expecting this!

Cool!

Now, will it fix a bug I've been battling for two weeks?  This is the 
BIG question.  I've got a fella in Germany who has a problem.  We've 
tried everything to fix it, and I am baffled.  The game works on 
computers all over the world, including several European countries, 
so I figured it was something specific to his computer.

The game creates a folder in the Program Files/Common Files folder of 
Windows, and put a text file into that folder.  But it did not do 
this for him, so I assumed it was a permissions issue.  He says that 
he is admin of his computer, and he checked the permissions and said 
they were good.  So I thought perhaps it was a language issue.  That 
his Program Files folder is Programme Files or something to that 
effect.  And years ago I had dealt with this issue as well.  But for 
him, it was not creating this text file as it needed.

I've compiled the game using the new Metacard engine in the hopes 
that it will solve the problem.  Am hoping the new engine can go 
where the old one could not.  Cross your fingers...
