Blorblib version 1.0.2

Blorblib is a C library for manipulating Blorb files.

Caveat: This library has not been updated since early 2000 (Blorb spec 1.1). It is obsolete and not maintained. I've posted it only for the benefit of legacy projects.

You will probably want to change the lines

typedef unsigned long uint32;
typedef unsigned short uint16;

...in blorb.h to

typedef uint32_t uint32;
typedef uint16_t uint16;

A more current C implementation is included with CheapGlk. For a current Blorb manipulation tool, see blorbtool.py.
