Ok, I'm upset.  I just went through three, count them, THREE IFF viewers.
ALL of them hogged processor time while displaying the picture.  This is
hard to do with the Amiga.  They must have really worked at it!!

Having all three viewers do this is odd.  Perhaphs a bug in the IFF routines
from Electronic Art/Amiga??

			-Strange-

PS.  I just found one that does not (phew!).  It's called USHOW and will do
all the formats (HAM, LO, HIGH, INTERLACE, OVERSCAN).  At 996 bytes it is the
smallest yet.  (68000 source available from author)
( If you want it, i'll upload it to the usenet mail location of your choice,
even comp.binaries, if there is demand )
