A software package was posted to comp.sources.x from dbs@kodak.enet.dec.com
(dan sears) entitled xtiff. I needed to get more information from the author
about the package, but mailing to kodak.enet.dec.com came back from the
MAILER-DAEMON saying dbs was user unknown.
In the part01 header, he stated:
xtiff has two chief limitations: its handling of the colormap can only
be described as brutal and it does not attempt to display images that
are deeper than the available visuals through dithering or median cut
algorithms.
But it has a third limitation, stated in the README of the Xlib version:
xtiff requires Sam Leffler's libtiff package
which can be found on ucbvax.berkeley.edu
When I ftp'ed to ucbvax.berkeley.edu, I grep'ed around all of the directories,
but could not find a mention of a libtiff package.
Can anyone else help? Can Dan Sears from kodak.enet.dec.com please get in
touch with me??
Thank you . . .

Try that. The From: line on his posting was screwed up. The proper address is dbs@kodak.pa.dec.com . dbs@decwrl.dec.com should work also. -- t. patterson, domain: tp@wsl.dec.com path: decwrl!tp DEC Western enet: wsl::tp Software Lab icbm: 122 9 41 W / 37 26 35 N -- t patterson domain: tp@wsl.pa.dec.com path: decwrl!tp DEC WSL enet: decwrl::tp icbm: 122 9 41 W / 37 26 35 N
