But these are not programs: they're sets of Codec files. We still need a
player, don't we? (We've sure batted this one around lately! CoMa: are
you there????) The Codec files "...will allow you to play QuickTime
files,..." but they won't _play_ them.

We know that Media Player Classic works with these file sets. And
JetAudio, too. Are there any other media players that'll work with these
Codec files?

These packages include a program to play the files: MPC

Irfanview with the plugins.

Probably about any of 'em. I just played a mov file with Wimp 6.4 and 9,
crystal, Irfanview, and zoom players. This is with XP home and QA 1.41.
