I found a lot of IFF files which don't match the EA-IFF85
specification. As iffparse.library & datatypes.library
will not load these files I decided to write this program
to fix them.

It cannot work miracles, some files it cannot fix can be
tweaked with a hex editor to get them working. It only
knows about the general format of IFF files, an error
in the data cannot be fixed (maybe in the future).

This only runs from the cli and takes the files to
process as arguments. Always backup files before you
try to fix them as it overwrites the original file.

I wrote this a couple of months ago but decided to
upload it now as pix/misc/C64Pics.lha on aminet contains
a file which cannot be displayed with multiview, if you
run fixiff on it then it works perfectly.
