Short: Show IFF struct & chunk contents. MUI Application. Author: K.Drangmeister@insider.sub.de (Kay Drangmeister) Uploader: drangmei@informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de (Kay Drangmeister) Type: util/misc IFF Master is a program that allows you to have a view inside the structure of IFF files. It is not yet another picture viewer or sound sample player, but it displays the internal entities (chunks) of a file. For example, the headers of pictures (ILBM) or sound samples (8SVX) are displayed in clear, so you can directly read the size and depth of the image or the sampling rate. Current features (V 1.4) include: - MUI application - localized GUI (with AmigaOS 2.1 or later) - Extensive chunk type library (currently 46 form types, 257 known chunks, 79 of these with comprehensive structure description) - Chunk contents are presented alternatively as structure, text or hexdump - Bit fields and enumeration types are displayed in clear - Fixed point values are printed in decimal (e.g. 8SVX.VHDR.Volume) - Callback hooks for special attributes, e.g. the Mode-ID inside the CAMG chunk is de-referenced (e.g. as "PAL: Hires"). - Colors in ILBM.CMAP chunks are displayed, with AmigaOS 3.0 or later. - clipboard support - chunk contents and partial FORMs can be saved - AppWindow and AppIcon Features new for V 1.4: NEW Completely changed to GNU-C. Differences are: new startup code, no more ANSI-C functions like `sprintf()' used, enabling some things like localized output of floating point numbers. FIX should finally run without locale.library NEW Online help NEW new chunk IDs: AMBA, AMDE, AMIN, AMHU, AMUN, EQE1, RESO, VARS, ... NEW complete structure descriptions of system preference files, some new hooks. Be sure to try out e.g. `IFFMaster ENV:sys/locale.prefs'. NEW color descriptions (RGB values) are now also displayed as a colorfield, if you have WB 3.0. Check out `IFFMaster ENV:sys/palette.prefs' or any ILBM/CMAP. NOTE: You need some free pens for this feature, so you may need to specify a deep screen for IFFMaster inside MUIPrefs. FIX is now accepted as a name for the clipboard. So `Save' now works as `Save Clip' when working on a clipboard file. As a side-effect you can now enter `IFFMaster ""' at the command line to load directly from the clipboard. FIX button key definitions did overlap NEW 'non-printable' characters can now be displayed in the hex dump, if the font comprises 256 characters. (Requested by Walter Dörwald) NEW some more editing capabilities (move chunks). NEW Chunks containing text or binary data can be edited via text or binary editors. NEW new icon, which is also used as AppIcon now ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3820 1858 51.3% 11-Aug-95 12:19:34 +iffmaster.catalog 11583 3291 71.5% 11-Aug-95 12:19:36 +iffmaster.cd 5989 2107 64.8% 11-Aug-95 12:19:36 +iffmaster.empty.ct 3674 1772 51.7% 11-Aug-95 12:19:34 +iffmaster.catalog 1609 786 51.1% 11-Aug-95 12:19:36 +translators.readme 64320 18262 71.6% 11-Aug-95 12:19:30 +IFFMaster.dvi 63732 16879 73.5% 11-Aug-95 12:19:32 +IFFMaster.dvi 35452 11890 66.4% 11-Aug-95 12:19:30 +IFFMaster.guide 33836 10954 67.6% 11-Aug-95 12:19:32 +IFFMaster.guide 99552 37308 62.5% 11-Aug-95 12:19:28 +IFFMaster 1578 901 42.9% 11-Aug-95 12:19:28 +IFFMaster.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 325145 106008 67.3% 12-Aug-95 01:03:54 11 files
