Right now, I classified IFF as graphics format, since that is what it's mostly used for. However, it's actually an abstract container, much like [[RIFF]] (which doesn't have a page as of now). So it should probably be moved to some other section, with LBM, 8SVX, XMI etc. all referencing this article. Thoughts anyone? --[[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] ([[User talk:Darkstar|talk]]) 00:13, 3 November 2012 (UTC) | Right now, I classified IFF as graphics format, since that is what it's mostly used for.

[edit] Correct classification?
Right now, I classified IFF as graphics format, since that is what it's mostly used for. However, it's actually an abstract container, much like RIFF (which doesn't have a page as of now). So it should probably be moved to some other section, with LBM, 8SVX, XMI etc. all referencing this article. Thoughts anyone? --Darkstar (talk) 00:13, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
