656.0. "Amiga IFF to DDIF" by DNEAST::COMBAR_CURT (Ayuh! I'm from Maine...) Fri Apr 21 1989 11:29

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a detailed specification
    for the DDIF fiel format?   I'd like to write an Amiga IFF to DDIF
    file converter.
    
    Thanks

656.1Pointers to DDIF converter info19721::JACKMarty JackFri Apr 21 1989 13:1712
    You wouldn't need to know the file format to write a DDIF converter.
    Check out the CDA manual that's part of the DECwindows documentation
    and follow the converter architecture.  Related conferences:

       	DDIF::DDIF
    	DDIF::DDIF_CONVERTERS
    
    If IFF is an image format, it's probably easiest to write the converter
    using the Image Services library.  For that info, check out:
    
    	VISUAL::IMAGING

What if the converter is to run on the Amiga?

    Well, then it's a large matter of programming, because he'll have
    to implement ASN.1 first on the Amiga.  The ASN.1 definition of
    DDIF is in an appendix of the CDA manual, so it's still the source
    for information the person needs to do this.
