I was told that at the last DevCon, C-A officially adopted ASDG's
24-bitplane IFF format (they worked together to iron out
the specifics).

That's called "chunky" bitmaps, and it's usually done on a per-pixel
basis.  It is *much* easier for a program to work with if one is doing
internal calculations.  At DevCon, C-A officially adopted a chunky
bitmap IFF spec (which was co-developed by ASDG & C-A)

(DISCLAIMER:  I'm not associated with ASDG or C-A and I wasn't at
DevCon, but this is what I recall from some net (and non-net)
summaries of the last DevCon.  I'm sure I'll be flameboyantly
corrected for any discrepancies :-))
