Amiga IFF file format experiments (2012)

Quite often, people think that it is just a format to store images, as the most common IFF application format is the InterLeaved BitMap (ILBM) format used by Deluxe Paint and many other programs. For example, the ILBM file format defines the
BMHD data as BitMap Header chunk, containing important attributes of an image, such as the width, height and the amount of colors used and the
BODY chunk that stores the actual graphics data. Furthermore, instead of implementing yet another crappy parser that only supports a subset, I have decided to do it right and to develop a set of general, good quality, reusable and portable libraries for this purpose, with similar goals to the other file format libraries so that application programs can support IFF application file formats as easy as the common file formats that we use nowadays.
