Could someone explain if there is a difference between IFF text files and
IFF graphic files and what, if any, ILBM has to do with the latter. I have some
applications which claim to read IFF files and others which claim to produce
IFF output but I cant get them to understand each other. The only difference is
that one is text and one is a picture. I notice that some pics are said to be in
IFF ILBM format. Is this a different format from plain IFF or am I reading
wrong?  How can I find out ? Any help gratefully accepted

Confused,
