- ===== I.F.R. - The IFF-FileRipper ===== v1.1
- =======================================
-
-
-
- Well, no long documentation needed I think...
-
- This tool is © Nicolas FRANCK, also known as Gryzor, the maaad converter :-)
-
- This is FREEWARE, thus freely redistributable, as long as this little
- "readme" file stays with the main program, all this in the LHA archive !
-
- Of course, PD associations like Fred Fish, CAM, DPAT... are allowed to
- include IFR in their librairies !
-
-
- I.F.R. works fine under all KickStarts and Amiga !
-
-
-
-
- DESCRIPTION :
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- IFR was made to find back any IFF-structured file in any file !
- This was asked to me by some friends of mine,
- so I took Pro-Wizard source-code, modified it (a lot), and made this IFR !
-
- Thus, it's based on Pro-Wizard convert & scan routines, i.e you can select
- more than one file into the Loading Requester, then a Destination Directory
- will be required, and all scanning operations will be done automatically.
-
- The actual IFF structures recognized are :
-
- 1. ILBM ; Usual IFF pictures
- 2. 8SVX ; Sample sounds
- 3. ANIM ; Animations
- 4. SMUS ; Sonix files
- 5. WORD ; Text files (?? rare...)
-
- It was tested with success on "Les Hérétiques-Nécrologie", a greeaaatt demo
- from some good friends :-))
- IFR found 3 IFF-8SVX and 8 IFF-ANIM in this demo...
-
-
- Note for beginners : Don't expect IFR to find the graphics of your favorite
- demos ! As, usually in these demos, the gfx are under
- bitmap form... not in IFF.
-
-
-
-
- HOW TO USE IT :
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Well, as in the first versions of Pro-Wizard, when run (from WB or CLI)
- the main window will appear on your workbench, and you'll have the choice
- between 3 gadgets : SCAN - Scan some files...
- DOCS - Some documentation windows...
- QUIT - Bye Bye !
-
- During scanning, a little window "Working on your files" appears on screen,
- you may CLOSE it (with the appropriate gadget) then, IFR will abort his
- work...
- If you've selected more than one file, at the end of processing, there will
- be a Statistics Window, same as in Pro-Wizard-2, with all files IFR has
- recognized, or the number of Unknown Formats.
-
-
- The appropriate file_extensions will be added to the saved files
- (".8SVX", ".ANIM", etc...)
-
-
- IFR needs the REQTOOLS.LIBRARY and the XPKMASTER.LIBRARY !
- They are not included, but who hasn't got these fabulous libs yet ?? :-)
-
-
- reqtools.library is © Nico FRANCOIS
- xpkmaster.library is © Urban Dominik MUELLER
-
-
-
-
- Okay, that's all I think... have good scannings !

- HISTORY :
- ~~~~~~~~~
-
- - v1.1 : 10-Oct-94 File length : 7940 bytes
-
- Now, IFR tries to find the real name of the IFF-Files,
- especially in 8SVX samples...
-
-
-
- - v1.0 : 27-Sept-94 File length : 7876 bytes
-
- In fact, 95% of the program was ready at the end of May 94 !
- But.....you know..... :-)
- And I had to improve Pro-Wizard-2 before all !
