Quoting the famous Daniel Tracy:
	"Responding to the following:

	"``No, it's exactly the same operation to read an IFF file header and
to scan a resource fork for a file type. Except that the file "type" in the
IFF header allows interchange with other systems.The factt hat IFF is
defined in a system independent manner is yet another advantage...''

	"No, the file type of a Macintosh file is kept in the file header as
well."

a single phrase that you don't care for.

Sigh.
