IFFMaster    1.3    Show IFF structure & chunk contents

IFF Master is a program that allows you to have a view inside the structure
of IFF files.  It is not yet another picture viewer or sound sample player,
but it displays the internal entities (chunks) of a file.  For example, the
headers of pictures (ILBM) or sound samples (8SVX) are displayed in clear,
so you can directly read the size and depth of the image or the sampling rate.

Current features (V 1.3) include:
 - MUI application
 - localized GUI (with AmigaOS 2.1 or later)
 - Extensive chunk type library (currently 37 form types, 234 known chunks,
   60 of these with comprehensive structure description)
 - Chunk contents are presented alternatively as structure, text or hexdump
 - Bit fields and enumeration types are displayed in clear
 - Fixed point values are printed in decimal (e.g. 8SVX.VHDR.Volume)
 - Callback hooks for special attributes, e.g. the Mode-ID
   inside the CAMG chunk is de-referenced (e.g. "PAL: Hires").
 - clipboard support
 - chunk contents and partial FORMs can be saved
 - AppWindow and AppIcon

Features new for V 1.3:

BUG  prefs window: close gadget now functioning
BUG  Cycle chain (TAB) now works in all windows
NEW  new chunk types: IAND, IANM, DR2D, RGB8, RGBN, SPLT
NEW  hex numbers get a user-chosen indicator, construction of hex dumps is
     now more than 3 times faster
NEW  IFFs can be saved, even nested FORMs, e.g. images inside animations
NEW  Implemented some editing capabilities (delete chunks)
NEW  Preferences can be saved
