Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'game/com/iff-snooper-x.hqx' Uploaded 01/22/2005 1852161 bytes From: Peter.Gould@pat.ulaval.ca Subject: IFFSnooper 1.1.7 abstract IFF Snooper 1.1.7 January 2005 -------------- Introduction -------------- IFFSnooper is a utility program for examining and editing the IFF files used in the Maxis game The Sims(TM) and its expansions. The current submission includes the program and a readme file. More information is available at the IFFSnooper website http://homepage.mac.com/petergould/IFFS/IFFSnooper.html This program may be included on commercially available Info-Mac CD-ROMs. ------------ What it does ------------ IFFSnooper will open up an object IFF file (usually recognizable by the .iff file extension) and display some of its resources. IFFSnooper can also open up wall files ( .wll files), floor files ( .flr files) and .FAM files from The Sims(TM) since these are just IFF files with alternate file extensions. This allows for inspection of downloaded custom items before placing them in your game. IFFSnooper also allows you to edit certain IFF file resources, and to import images for use in objects, wall files and floor files. ------------ Requirements ------------ IFFSnooper should run on any Mac using OS 8.5 or higher. It has been tested on OS versions 8.6 to 10.2.8 (Jaguar). IFFSnooper should also be compatible with MacOS 10.3 (Panther). The IFFSnooper version for OS X is Carbonized and needs Carbon version 1.2.5 or higher. ---------------- update notes ---------------- Version 1.1.7 15 Jan 2005
