Quicktime	Software that allows you to view movies. We advise that you use the file association (MIME) settings to allow only this program for Quicktim movies and pictures (MOOV & PICT)
Real Alternative	An alternative to RealPlayer for playing audio and sound files.
The File Splitter	If a file you want to send to your teacher in an email is too big to send (eg. bigger than 1MB) use this program to split the file into lots of little files to send in lots of separate e-mail attachments.
