Changes Since V15.3:
 
Note that this version is fully downward-compatible to V15.3. 
 
* There was a bug in the DecodePic() routine which called the guru if the 
  width of the picture was not a multiple of 16. It's fixed now. 
 
* The GetViewModes() routines now calculates the viewmodes correctly for 
  all picture sizes, including Super-Overscan (produced by DigiView 3.0). 
 
* When you open an IFF file with the OpenIFF() call, memory is allocated 
  and the file is read into that memory. Normally, all files are loaded 
  into whatever memory is available, but '8SVX' files are always loaded to 
  CHIP memory (the memory which is accessable by the Amiga's custom chips). 
  This solution is good for playing IFF sounds, but it is not satisfactory 
  for some other applications. The solution of this problem is quite easy: 
  a new routine called 'NewOpenIFF', which allows you to specify the type 
  of memory for the file. 
  So if you want to load an IFF instrument into any RAM, the right command 
  is: 'f=NewOpenIFF(filename,0L)' or 'f=OpenIFF(filename,MEMF_PUBLIC)'. 
  You can use any memory attributes you want (PUBLIC,CHIP,FAST...). 
 
* The file 'iff.h' is now split into two files: 'iff.h', which contains the 
  structure definitions and function declarations, and 'IffGlue.asm', 
  which contains the C to Assembler interface routines.
 
* The file 'IFFPragmas.h" is added to support the Lattice C compiler. It 
  was taken from an usenet article by Lyle E. Levine. Thanks! 
 
* The demo file 'ShowIFF.c' now correctly handles overscan pictures.
