Re: Patricks comments about IFF being better than GIF due to problems
with different aspect ratios on different machines...

I don't recall IFF having any fields that detail the host's aspect
ratio (on the Amiga it's about 1:1.15, the Mac is 1:1). Are you
sure it's there? If it's not, then they both have the same problem.

Sounds like a good idea to add it to any such standard, at any rate.
