[comp.sys.mac] Picture file format info needed

pete@saturn.ucsc.edu (Peter Hughes) (02/22/89)

	I need to find out the exact format of different picture file types.
Inside Mac describes PICT and PICT2, and APDA tech note 86 explains the Paint
format.  It would be incredibly useful to find out the format (at byte level)
of TIFF, GIFF, and ESPS files.  Please direct me to the appropriatsource of
information.

				Thanx,

As far as I am aware, these formats are only available from the following
places:

     TIFF    -   ALDUS
     GIF     -   CompuServe
     PICT    -   Inside Macintosh (PICT vol1, PICT2 vol5)
     EPSF    -   ADOBE
     RIFF    -   Letraset
