I've been doing a little bit of graphics programming on this machine.
I've managed to successfully set up windows, screens, and now 
I'm working on directly accessing the view.  I've successfully
set up a viewport within a view, and have a bitmap structure associated
with it (with .planes[x] bitmap data), but now I have some problems.

Firstly, How do you decode an IFF picture into raw bitmap data?  I
assume this is some kind of a compression algorithm , because I loaded
it on top and got total garbage.  (I also noticed the same size iff
pictures are different lengths)  Does anyone have the specs on how to
decode it?  Could you post them please?

Also...Is there a way that the VIEWPORT attaches to the RASTPORT?

What I want to do is set up a view (So I don't have to deal with 
screens, etc.) and then draw lines, circles, etc. Into it?
Oh, another thing.  Is it possible to attach menus to just a view? 
I've seen it done.  Just a bitmap view, not a screen, with menus
attached.  How would you go about it?  My basic goal is to get a
bitmap display without being able to move the screen , and without the
ugly "close" gadget.

Thanks,
Sean T. Lamont
