crossover plugin

[Zscoundrel]

Crossover is pretty cool, and their support is pretty good, but I was 
NEVER able to get quicktime to install properly.  I did get a lot of the 
other plugins to install and some of them worked really well, but 
quicktime never worked!

I tried it under 3 different versions of RH and I tried it with netscape 
6.2 & 7, 7.1, 7.2  and mozilla 1.2.1.  Support was baffled and they 
ended up extending my 6 month support for 18 months because they never 
could get QT to install.
