One of the weird things Apple did in the 90's was when they ported QuickTime to Windows, they ported a chunk of the Mac OS Toolbox as well to support it, including stuff like QuickDraw and the standard file manager dialogs
This meant if you were porting a program from MacOS to Windows, you could use QuickTime to help you along
They released a “Mac OS For QuickTime Programmers” guide to help Windows programmers understand the different components https://web.archive.org/web/19991011133120/http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/quicktime/qtdevdocs/INMAC/MACWIN/tp_macosqt_oview.htm
