- CDI is for Philips CD-I player. And is intended to enable that system
- to load photocd images as fast as possible. But IFF? grin, I must have
- a look at mine. ;-)

-
- That would be the day as Kodak seemed to have dragged their corporate
- feet at granting CBM a license for PhotoCD. (rumor has it Philips did
- not like the competition and tried to throw a spanner in the works)
- And then Kodak snatching the Amiga IFF format would be a joke...
-
- Take care...
