I have used it for some things, and never had a whole lot of trouble. But, more important, it is a standard that real for-sale programs use, and we amigans have too few of those. Which makes me wonder: why are we talking about replacing it? Shall we just go out any buy macs, and kill the amiga right now, rather than taking to slow-death 'oh lets pick ANOTHER standard' route? This seems crazy. BTW, i like Matt's resources, but only as an IFF component. RSRC, anyone? ron -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)

I actually think that it'd be more useful the other way, as an IFF access library. -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!hoptoad!academ!uhnix1!sugar!peter -- "Have you hugged your U wolf today?" ...!bellcore!tness1!sugar!peter -- Disclaimer: These aren't mere opinions, these are *values*.
