public class ExampleABCDE

extends java.lang.Object

Create a simple demo RIFF file.

SYNOPSIS

abcde

DESCRIPTION

This program creates a RIFF file with the following structure. FRM1 is a form, CHKA is a single chunk, and LSTA is a list containing chunks CHKB and CHKC.

|   FRMA --- CHKB
|            LSTC - CHKD
|                   CHKE
 

This program produces an 84-byte file, which has an ASCII dump which can be viewed by any binary file reader. Note how the first four bytes declare this to be a RIFF file and bytes 9-12 declare the RIFF form to be of type "FRMA".
