Product history

 * MacroMind Director 3.0 was released by MacroMind-Paracomp in 1991, solely for Macintosh.
 * MacroMind Director 3.1 was released by Macromedia in late 1992, adding support for Apple Computer's new QuickTime media technology and expanding the Lingo scripting language. A utility called Gaffer allowed Director movies to be converted to a format that could be played back on Windows-based computers through MacroMind Windows Player.
 * Macromedia Director 3.1.3 was released in February 1993. Macromedia Director Player 3.1.3 for Windows was released separately with improved performance and functionality to achieve playback parity with the Macintosh version. Additional players were developed for 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, FM Towns, IRIX, OS/2, and OS-9 (no relation to Apple).
