Thanks. Yes, I have used the wrong word, simply because english is  
not my native language (I was not able to find back the "provides"  
word), so I used "improve" as a joker.

I was referring to the fact that, in RB 5.5, QuickTime was needed to  
read some formats. Now, e.g in Win32, it seems that another  
technology (sorry, I don't know much in the Win32 world) is  
optionally used so I wonder if QuickTime still provides more  
functionalities and is needed to read mp3 files.
