[comp.sys.misc] TIFF -- file format needed

vic@zen.UUCP (Victor Gavin) (07/29/87)

Ahhhh...


Well, once again I need help. This time I'm trying to get information about
some picture image file formats (you know: how the bits are stored in
the file and what they header information means).

The image formats that I need the info' on are

		TIFF (Tag Image File Format -- Microsoft/Aldus)
		GEM (Digital Research)
		MS Paint
	or	PC PaintBrush


What I'm trying to do is read an image produced by an HP ScanJet (in any of
the above formats) into my own program.

The program is going to attempt to do some pattern recognition (letters
and numbers at the moment).

If there is enough interest I'll summarize and post the info'.

and Microsoft (as in Windows).  Write to
