I saw a clip from some Mac rag awhile ago talking about how the Mac was 
getting into m ultimedia.  It stated that apple had developed a standard
called MIFF and it was based on the Amiga's IFF standard.  The blurb
EVEN GAVE THE AMIGA CREDIT for developing the first file standard
specifically oriented for multi-media, and specifically mentioned
Electronic Arts!

Now, with all this attention around the Amiga's IFF files, don't you
think there are some Mac hacks out there more than willing to provide
connectivity?

Thanks for the mention of PICTure This(tm)...I'm sure we will see more
and more of this kind of tool on the Mac.  After all, these folks want
to get work done too!
