[comp.windows.misc] Graphics File Format Language

jdm@hodge.UUCP (jdm) (09/02/89)

	I have come upon the need to work with several dozen
	graphics and image file formats.  For this reason I must
	be able to describe the interal format of ANY graphics
	or image file in the simplest possible terms.  What I
	really need is a standard set of terms, a language really,
	that will enable me to describe any file format (whether
	real or not) in words that may be used by others to
	reconstruct that format.

	Does anyone know of such a language or description set?
	Does ANSI/ISO use anything like this?
