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  2.3 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, Assembler, Modula-2,  Pascal 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, SoundFX intstruments and
many more.

If you have any questions you can leave a message to Christian Weber on
the FAUG BBS. (Writing to Switzerland takes very long and is expensive!)

				Enjoy!
