Hi!

I'm working with the requirements on the file-structure of a rather
big program. I haven't decided yet if I'll do it the IFF way or create
an all out private solution. 

Anyway, this got me wondering; what standardized IFF-formats are there?

I got the ANIM-specs from News; that's one. Three or four are explained
in the RKM's, and a couple more are mentioned. There must be more
formats than ANIM between -85 and now?!

So. What new formats are there, and how do you go about getting the
specifications on the interesting ones?

And. Is it common/Does it at all happen that non-graphic, non-wordproccessing,
non-musical programs use IFF??? 
(and if you ask 'what others are there?', I'll flame you till you drop :-)
