Minor Nit: IFF was released in Jan 85 [0], a few months before Amiga was released and several Amiga guys, including RJ, contributed to the spec. It was baked into the Amiga from the very start.
So Commodore's Graphicraft was probably always using ILBM IFF, maybe with new and pre-release chunk types. :)
I'd be very surprised if they weren't alpha IFF or some such. I'd love to see a hex dump of the start of a file.

- vidarh 9y ago"IFF" doesn't say all that much, of course, as it's just very basic framing. It's the chunk types that matters.. It does seem the images were in fact PLBM, so very similar to ILBM but "raw" bitplanes instead of interleaving row by row. It's pretty much a memory dump of the window/screen bitmaps with a bit of extra data in front.
