- 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),
- ANIM files (animations) and 8SVX files (digitized sounds).
- It was fully written in Assembler and is only 3.2 KBytes long. The de-
- compression routines are the fastest I've ever written :-)
- To use iff.library, copy it to the 'LIBS:' directory of your boot partition
- or Workbench disk.
- 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, ARexx 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 stencils, HAM and halfbrite pictures, ANIM files (with a trick),
- SHAM, AGA and 24bit pictures, SoundFX instruments, and all other IFF FORMs.
