I don't have Eduard's book so I can't tell you where it is, but Eduard
responded to him by e-mail (he also send his question to
mac### [at] povrayorg) and here is what Eduard said:

Hi,
I am the author of the book you are asking about.  The Reference
application that a contractor wrote to go along with my book (in
Hypercard) was not very well written, and really does expect an old
version of QuickTime in order to work.  This is too bad, because the
reference application is actually pretty useful when it works.  You
should try saving your Quicktime 4 extensions (use extension mgr to
disable them), and then install QT 1.6.1 from the book's CD and see
if that will work.  If not, you may be out of luck, that book and
software are now over 6 years old, and out of print.  Sorry I can't
be of much more help.

ttfn,
Eduard
