This archive contains two folders:

   piff                    -  the PacIFF program to pack/unpack RLE IFF files.
   GuiPiff                 -  a GUI version for the above, to allow pre-packing of files for i.e. a game or demo

PacIFF basically allows the RLE packing of IFF files - which is IIRC the default in DPaint and PPaint - so they can be unpacked at run-time by the small program a1d1 which is included also, complete with asm source. The reason for a1d1 was the fact that (at the time) the blitter was still faster than the 68000 CPU, and a1d1 uses the blitter to depack RLE files to your allocated bitmap. The program became obsolete when the `020 proved faster, but now with the NatAmi this might change again.

This entire archive with all included software is released under the GPL - enjoy and let others ehjoy too.
