1. Is there an IFF format for object-oriented drawings?  The IFF registry
   in the back of the 1.3 Autodocs and Includes doesn't list one.

2. While we're on the subject, would anyone be interested in a freely
   redistributable object-oriented drawing program?  I'm thinking of
   writing one just for my own edification, mostly as a user interface
   exercise, and I haven't seen any around (except for mCAD, which is
   fairly old and doesn't have all the nifty features I'd want to
   include).  If you'd be interested, mail me a list of things you'd like
   to see in it.

3. On a completely unrelated note, I've been toying with the old QRT
   ray tracer recently.  I can't seem to get RAY2 to produce ILBM files
   that any recent IFF display program understands.  Is there a newer
   version of RAY2 around, or an old display program someone can point
   me to that will understand RAY2's output?

Please answer through email; if there's enough response, I'll
summarize to the net.  Thanks.
