The official name for this standard is Audio Interchange File Format.  If
an application program needs to present the name of this format to a user,
such as in a "Save As..." dialog box, the name can be abbreviated to Audio
IFF. Referring to Audio IFF files by a four-letter abbreviation (i.e.,
'AIFF') in user-level documentation or program-generated messages should
be avoided.
