List of common IFF-based file formats

Certain formats in the list are not actually IFF or RIFF based formats, and at least one (GIFF, which I have never encountered or even heard of before today) may not even exist. Mainly, the file formats used by Microsoft Office products are not IFF based (although they may have been in the past). Instead, these files have been, since at least Office 97, been based on the OLE DocFile format, which is very similar to the FAT file system. --coldacid 23:00, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)

I've looked at the structure of word 6, and word 95 .doc files, and they are certainly not IFF files. Given the stickyness of file formats and the fact that word predates the IFF85 document, I doubt it ever was in IFF format. --210.23.136.187 00:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the SMUS file system is definitifly not the correct one. SMUS is/was a Amiga music format and not a university school --80.129.144.169 18:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC) Linne[reply]

The SMUS link is now fixed. // Liftarn
