    I'm not even going to pretend to understand what XMIFF is, but here's the readme. What's new? "XMIFF contains much of the same functionality of the original MIFF program, but with a few extra features thrown in to add flexibility to the MIFF language. In general, syntax changes were made to make MIFF more like the C programming language. This document assumes that you are familiar with the old MIFF program and its syntax. "

    These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!

    I'll hazard a guess that the M stands for Mission, as in Mission IFF.

    Interesting insights into the development process, keep them coming, please. And thank you for the lack of a 404 error this time. ;)

    there's an XMIFF.exe on the dev CDs... it seem to be for compiling IFF files from XMF files.
