I have looked at the RKM (latest blue book) at the IFF spec, and unfortunately
I cannot understand how IFF supports 24 bits.  I supposed that since there
really isn't a limit to how many bitplanes you can store as part of an image,
you can go ahead and store 24 bitplanes in the BODY, but this seems a bit
odd to me (I don't know why though).

Could someone explain to me, am I correct about just storing 24 bitplanes?
Or have I missed something in the 3rd party stuff?
Or am I halucinating?

thanks
