+THIS PROGRAM IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. IT MAY BE FREELY DISTRUBUTED, COPIED
+AND USED FOR COMMERCIAL OR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. IT MAY BE DISTRIBUTED
+WITH OR WITHOUT THIS DOCUMENTATION FILE.

+TO MAINTAIN COMPATIBILITY, YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE LIBRARY
+ITSELF. UPDATES WILL BE RELEASED BY THE AUTHOR. HOWEVER, YOU MAY CHANGE
+THE SOURCE CODES OR USE THEM IN YOUR OWN PROGRAMS.
+
+
+WHAT IS THE IFF LIBRARY ?
+-------------------------
+
+The iff.library is an easy to use Amiga library which gives you some
+powerful routines to deal with IFF files, especially ILBM files (pictures).
+It was fully written in Assembler and is only 2.7 KBytes long. The de-
+crunching routines are the fastest I've ever written :-)
+To use the library, copy it to the 'LIBS:' directory of your startup-disks.
+Since the iff.library is a standard Amiga library, it can be used from any
+programming language such as C, C++, Modula-2, Assembler, Pascal, Basic and
+many more.
+
+I started writing this library in September 1987, and now it is really bug-
+free (I hope) and it can handle any IFF files I know, including DPaint pic-
+tures with stencil, HAM and halfbrite pictures, ANIM files (with a trick),
+SHAM files, SoundFX instruments, and all other IFF files which do not con-
+tain nested chunks.
+
+If you have any questions or suggestions, you can reach me on BIX (chw),
+or by e-mail (cbmehq!cbmswi!zethos!mighty!chris@cbmvax.commodore.com)
+or on Internet until dec 1990 (cweber@iiic.ethz.ch),
+or write me a letter to Switzerland ...
