More to the point, and enhanced SMUS is easily possible under IFF. Just make new chunks. If a new format isn't IFF, I don't want to know about it. The fact that so many of these music programs decided to abandon IFF has been a major sore point. Finally, how about adding the very slight enhancements needed to make the MIDI File Format an IFF form? It's basically IFF without the FORM header and the alignment requirements anyway. Designing a FORM MFF would be cake. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
