- WHAT IS THE IFF LIBRARY ?
- -------------------------
-
- The iff.library is an easy to use Amiga library which gives you some
- powerful routines to deal with IFF files, especially ILBM files (pictures).
- It was fully written in Assembler and is only 2.6 KBytes long. The de-
- crunching routines are the fastest I've ever seen.
- To use the library, copy it to the 'libs:' directory of your startup-disks.
- Since the iff.library is a standard Amiga library, it can be used from any
- programming language such as C, C++, Modula-2, Assembler, Pascal, Basic and
- many more.
-
- I started writing this library in September 1987, and now it is really bug-
- free (I hope) and it can handle any IFF files I know, including DPaint pic-
- tures with stencil, HAM and halfbrite pictures, ANIM files (with a trick),
- SoundFX instruments, and all other IFF files which are not nested.
-
- If you have any questions or suggestions, you can reach me on BIX (chw),
- or write me a letter to Switzerland (I'll be on Usenet soon).
