IFF stands for "Interchange File Format".  It is a stanard for creating
file standards.  The intent is easy transfer between machines and
programs.  Very nice.

There are IFF definitions for Musical Scores, sampled sound,
digitized pictures, etc.

You can purchase the entire "IFF manual" for $20 from:

	CATS / Lauren Brown
	1200 Wilson Drive
	West Chester, PA  19380

Ahem.  Unless things have changed, the "IFF Manual" is on a disk and it is
an Amiga disk.  Or is there a printed version now?

   The IFF stuff that we sell for $20 is and always has been a spiral
bound printed manual + a disk.  The disk also contains the manual text
in addition to source/object/executables so that the disk can be useful
freely redistributed by itself by people like Fred Fish.
