1357.0. "FF64 and the IFF Specs." by DSSDEV::COSTELLO () Wed Apr 20 1988 11:58


	Help me!, Please.  I have been searching for the Latest IFF Specs, 
  when I tracked them down to FF64.  I was overjoyed when I finally found
  them, but to my dismay, OmniTek, the amiga distributer I got my amiga
  at, did not have this disk, so now I'm really bummed out.  I don't want
  to wait weeks for the disk, so I was wondering If someone could either
  Upload it to the net for me, or get in contact with me and tell me where
  I might get a copy of it.  

					Thankyou
						Bill.

p.s. I work at ZKO.

Re: .0

The Fish disk doesn't have the latest IFF specs.  Commodore releases
an updated IFF disk about three times a year it seems like.  Whenever
developers get together and cook up a new IFF file for storing some
new type of information, Commodore will update the distribution.

Since the Fish disk, I now that the IFF format for animation was
standardized.  I don't know what the latest changes are.

If you just want to see the IFF specs for bitmapped pictures, music,
sampled sound, and the like, the Fish disk is sufficient.
