Hi,
	I have a question. What if TIFF format? Is it IFF with a different
name? I was reading an article in Dr. Dobb's (may 88) on TIFF image files
and it stated that:

	"Anyone who works with bit-mapped images should support
	the Tag Image File Format (TIFF). Why? Simply because TIFF has 
	become the industry-standard format for storing bit-mapped images;
	the format is supported by almost all the desk-top-publishing and
	scanner software in both the Macintosh and MS-DOS communities."

	Is this the same as Amiga/? IFF format? Have we been `overlooked`
by the big name magazines again? If it is different then IFF. How so?
I have a big buffer for e-mail so don't be afraid to answer that way.
