[comp.sys.mac] TIFF/PICT File Formats

OK, I've been scrounging around on the .net for the past few days and
have been unable to come up with any specs on the file formats of TIFF
and/or PICT.  All I want to know is how data is stored in the format!
I found a reference to a book by Apple on PICT, but *surely* (sic) there
must be *something* out there for free that will tell me what I need to
know!  I will be eternally grateful if someone can help me out.  Thanks!

Call either Microsoft or Adobe and ask for the TIFF file format.  I know
Microsoft Tech Support used to have an App note explaining it.  It is
also included in the Windows SDK documentation.

Blake,

For specifications about the TIFF 5.0 file format, contact Aldus.  I believe
that it's posted in their support forum on CompuServe.

As for PICT, refer to Inside Macintosh.
