[comp.graphics] tiff viewer/converter wanted

phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (05/24/89)

I am still looking for a tiff viewer for IBM PC.  I have VGA so I can even
use one specializing in that.  Also, a tiff to gif converter (for PC, UNIX,
VM/CMS) would be nice as an alternative.

I have a tiff viewer for the IBM PC that works with standard VGA cards and
some enhanced VGA cards.  It can also view GIF files and convert tiff
to GIF format.  When viewing tiff,  several conversions are possible:

    2 level  to  64 level   (Good for halftoned scanned images)
   16 level  to  16 level
   16 level  to  64 level
  256 level  to 256 level

The resultant tiff image being viewed can be saved as a GIF file.

This GIF/TIFF viewer is shareware and if there is interest,  I can
either post it to comp.binaries.ibm_pc,  or mail it to those interested
if there are not too many.
The program is named VGAIMAGE.EXE

My only question is, is there a version like that for people with EGA monitors?

Such beasts can be found on Compuserve. If you can't get there, 
i'll try to send you what I've got on my PC's...let me know.

You'll want PICEM and TIF2GIF.
I think they are in the pictures forum...
