[Apologies in advance if this is too obvious for words.] I have seen countless requests for info on (e.g.) TIFF in this group but have waited in vain for an answer. I therefore hereby risk wasting net bandwidth as follows: TIFF (Tag Image File Format) is explained in detail in an article in Dr. Dobbs Journal, May 1988, pp. 26-55. This article also appears in the Dr. Dobbs collection (Vol. 13 I believe) but that book is about $40. If you can find the Microsoft Systems Journal, it's also discussed in there, (Nancy Andrews and Stan Fry "TIFF: An Emerging Standard for Exchanging Digitized Graphics Images," July 1987, pp. 71-6). You can probably write Microsoft and ask for TIFF info in general, or at least to ask them for a copy of the article. for a copy of this article. The TIFF Library Package (in the public domain) is availabe on the Mac from: Bear River Assoc., P.O. 1900, Berkeley, CA 94701 or for PCs from DEST Corp., Attn. Debra Levesque, 1201 Cadillac Ct., Milpitas, CA 95035. I sincerely hope this article, along with another on other formats I just saw today, is of use to enough people to justify its existence.
