In order to preserve your code I put it here: http://darcs.haskell.org/iff/ There was still the problem that data chunks have only an 8-byte header (chunk name and size), whereas structure chunks (FORM, CAT, LIST, PROP) contain 12 bytes (chunk name, size, format name). Some people may find the task too simple to be worth an extra library, however it would be nice if libraries that process IF formats would use a common data structure. Then it would be easy to compose IFF files from components of different type.
