I need help. I am working with a hand scanner on an experimental basis
that comes with software capable of creating files in TIFF graphics
format.
I do not have any information on this format and would first appreciate
every comment that would point me towards information on this format.
I am looking for books, comments, source of information, anything anybody
can help me with.
I am also looking for a good tiff viewer and editor if possible.
Any help out there for me?

I expect that requests on this topic have been posted many times, but I am new to this news group and there is little on this subject on the articles that I have read so far. I am about to start work on a program to convert TIFF files into Postscript or some other PDL for laser output. Does anyone have any skeliton programs for parsing TIFF files. Or maybe someone has a program already to do this? I do have a program, but it is very slow and messey (creates tempory files all over the place in doing it). The program needs to be lightning fast as many many pages per day will need to be printed. If anyone out there has any experience or knows of any package that can help me, please post your response to the news group or mail me direct. I will post any responses that I receive for anyone else who may be interested. Thanks David

I would also be interested in a TIFF to PostScript converter, or a TIFF to X Windows bitmap converter! Jon Dunn jwd@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu

Note 7 in the general reference for graphics questions for this group says to set binary mode before FTP-ing a file. I can't find a reference to that in the UNIX manual under FTP. I retrieved the TIFF software from Sam Leffler at Berkley. I found 2 files: v2.2.tar.Z and v2.2pics.tar.Z. I did not set binary mode?? What exactly did I get? The files are 333827 and 688527 bytes in length. They are not text. Is this C source code? I made them executable and tried to run them with no luck. Would someone please tell me the operating environment for these files???? Thanks
