Does anyone out there understand or know of any good publications on the format of a TIFF file under MS-DOS? They are used to transport graphics from and to programs like Page Maker and ScanWare (Logitech) I would like to take a stab at a simple OCR program but my scanner utilities write to either TIFF, Microsoft Paint or PCX (Logitech's Paint programs I guess) format. And I can't seem to figure out the format of any of these files on a bit image level.. Please send mail to me as I don't read this group often.. Thank you, Karl Bunch -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ..!ucbvax!ucdavis!tts!root ARPA: jarob@ucrmath.edu

Mail bounced, so here's the dope: A company called UpStart Services Inc., in Cherry Hill NJ sells with their 400dpi hand scanner, a program to convert files around. (At least they said it was included with the scanner, a $xx value included free if you buy now, [ie. at the computer show]) Perhaps you'd like to drop 'em a line 609/424-2266 or save $$ and merely spend $0.25: UpStart Serv. Inc. Cherry Hill Industrial Ctr. Bldg-11 Cherry Hill, NJ 08003-1616 good luck Tom hundt@occlusal.rutgers.edu:Thomas M. Hundt:201/247-6723(H),932-5843(Lab) -- RRRRRR Thomas M.

It supports conversion from/to the following formats: PrintMaster PrintShop PC Paint Windows Paint MacPaint NewsMaster etc. (I don't recall the others) I have tried this program and it seems to work great!
