IFFL ... I remember that I've always disliked it, therefore refusing to jump on that hype and using it in own cracks. As my own cracking days were mainly over at Online, and I didn't crack much during my short period of time where I jumped through different groups (TWG, RTI, Paramount, Falcon, Abyss and maybe a few I can't remember), I focused on coding tools instead. Zap! was a very skilled cracker & I liked his style (reminded me of my own habits), and as he got the originals & cracked them by himself, there was nothing much left for me to do (which didn't bother me anyway). So I started some projects, like improving DarkForce's Darksqueezer, adding a scanning routine to it (making it 2 pass like Cruelcruncher) to make it more efficient and other things. One of them was coding an IFFL routine in MASM that Zap! only used a few times as well (I think I've found it in Chips Challenge & Skull and Crossbones). I even coded an IFFL routine for 1581 for fun (just found the source code recently).
I can't remember why I didn't like it. Possibly because of reducing it's compatibility to 1541 only. Not sure if it worked on 1570/71 and surely wouldn't on 1581.
That might be a reason why I never coded a tool for it, besides that source code I've found somewhere on my transferred disks ...
