=======================================
===== I.F.R. - The IFF-FileRipper ===== v1.1
=======================================
Well, no long documentation needed I think...
This tool is © Nicolas FRANCK, also known as Gryzor, the maaad converter :-)
This is FREEWARE, thus freely redistributable, as long as this little
"readme" file stays with the main program, all this in the LHA archive !
Of course, PD associations like Fred Fish, CAM, DPAT... are allowed to
include IFR in their librairies !
I.F.R. works fine under all KickStarts and Amiga !
DESCRIPTION :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IFR was made to find back any IFF-structured file in any file !
This was asked to me by some friends of mine,
so I took Pro-Wizard source-code, modified it (a lot), and made this IFR !
Thus, it's based on Pro-Wizard convert & scan routines, i.e you can select
more than one file into the Loading Requester, then a Destination Directory
will be required, and all scanning operations will be done automatically.
The actual IFF structures recognized are :
1. ILBM ; Usual IFF pictures
2. 8SVX ; Sample sounds
3. ANIM ; Animations
4. SMUS ; Sonix files
5. WORD ; Text files (?? rare...)
It was tested with success on "Les Hérétiques-Nécrologie", a greeaaatt demo
from some good friends :-))
IFR found 3 IFF-8SVX and 8 IFF-ANIM in this demo...
Note for beginners : Don't expect IFR to find the graphics of your favorite
demos ! As, usually in these demos, the gfx are under
bitmap form... not in IFF.
HOW TO USE IT :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, as in the first versions of Pro-Wizard, when run (from WB or CLI)
the main window will appear on your workbench, and you'll have the choice
between 3 gadgets : SCAN - Scan some files...
DOCS - Some documentation windows...
QUIT - Bye Bye !
During scanning, a little window "Working on your files" appears on screen,
you may CLOSE it (with the appropriate gadget) then, IFR will abort his
work...
If you've selected more than one file, at the end of processing, there will
be a Statistics Window, same as in Pro-Wizard-2, with all files IFR has
recognized, or the number of Unknown Formats.
The appropriate file_extensions will be added to the saved files
(".8SVX", ".ANIM", etc...)
IFR needs the REQTOOLS.LIBRARY and the XPKMASTER.LIBRARY !
They are not included, but who hasn't got these fabulous libs yet ?? :-)
reqtools.library is © Nico FRANCOIS
xpkmaster.library is © Urban Dominik MUELLER
Okay, that's all I think... have good scannings !

HISTORY :
~~~~~~~~~
- v1.1 : 10-Oct-94 File length : 7940 bytes
Now, IFR tries to find the real name of the IFF-Files,
especially in 8SVX samples...
- v1.0 : 27-Sept-94 File length : 7876 bytes
In fact, 95% of the program was ready at the end of May 94 !
But.....you know..... :-)
And I had to improve Pro-Wizard-2 before all !
