    Hi, I'm one of the authors of an IFF/GIF analyzer program called
FileID (available on NewXanth, etc.) The new version has been expanded
to cover EVERY IFF chunk type that I can find docs for. I've located 
a couple of common chunks in my test files that I can't find any docs
for.
    The first one is the DPAN chunk. I found this on in a DPaint III
animation file. It's data is 8 bytes long. (After the chunk ID and
chunk size).
    The second is the SNX1 chunk. This appears in every SMUS file that
I've tested. The obvious conclusion is that it contains Sonix settings,
but I could be wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated. Watch for FileID 1.3 appearing on
NewXanth, GEnie, and my board RSN!
