I just notived in todays Computer Graphics Today that compuserve Inc has
defined an interchangable graphics format (GIF) to allow Mac's and IBM's
and other computers to exchange pictures. They go on to note that GIF
readers are also available for the Amiga and ST's.

Is there some reason they did'nt use IFF ?

Do IFF readers exists for *other* machines (Suns, Apollos ?)
