Does anyone in "Netland" know how to identify a DPaint file without actually reading it in. I am using the AmigaDOS "Examine" function, then calling "ExNext" repeatedly to get the "FileInfo" on them. I cannot find anywhere in the "FileInfo" structure where a "Filetype" exists. Do I really have to read each file (Arghhhhhh!!!), or is there some secret magic place I can look to identify file types and "Owners". Please mail your responses directly to me, and I will summarize them and post the results. IFF Tutorial is in the making. Just waiting for additional info from Jerry Morrison at EA, I also hear that He has been taken off the IFF project, I hear that nobody will be replacing him. Does this mean that EA will stop releasing new standards?? Now, I sit and wait for all that "garbage" from Rutgars-Caip as they always bounce everything back in my face.
