The viewer uses QuickDraw but the viewer is a small part of Quesa.
This could be re-coded to use Quartz or Cocoa but Quartz would be
more universal. I doubt Apple will support QuickDraw for too many
more years even on the 32bit Intel platform.

As far as I know, none of the rest of Quesa uses QuickDraw.
