Retrieving Files Stored in LOBS / BLOBS

I have stored a QuickTime movie in a simple table in Oracle 8.0.3 as a BLOB. I would like to setup a simple demonstration that would retrieve this movie from the Oracle Server running on Sun OS to my Oracle Client Running NT and "kickoff" the Windows QuickTime application, showing the movie. Any ideas/examples?

The main part of the question is once a file is stored in a blob, how do I retrieve it back to the OS? The second part is how do I kick off an OS application, such as Quicktime, from PL/SQL or another Oracle application and pass it a value (such as this file)?
