I've looked at both. But I must admit… I cheated. <grin> Jim Kent had uploaded a C module which did a nice, quick job of reading IFF modules, and I just appropriated it… <grin> For writing the IFF file, I'll probably do something similar, although I'm probably gonna have to make changes… I'm fairly certain that this module (jiff.c, part of an older display program called PLOP) is in one of the DLs over on AmigaTech. And there are bound to be numerous other examples there too… As for FORTH, I'm an old tyme forth fanatic. (I even ported the fig-Forth compiler over to a CDC Cyber as a project in college… 🙂 However, I heartily dislike what's been done to the language over the years… I prefer the original fig-Forth implementation, with mods so that it can accept a plain text file as input, instead of a bunch of Forth screens… (And, of course, a library for working with the native machine's functions…) But for serious programming, I use C, which is more all around effective (although there are occational times where Forth is better…). –>Steve Bennett
