[comp.sources.wanted] TIFF LZW compressed

otto@tukki.jyu.fi (Otto J. Makela) (04/09/90)

I recently scanned some very nice art pictures (Dali, Escher, Margritte) on
a Apple Macintosh IIcx, using a software called ImageStudio (or was that the
grey-level version ?).  I stored the pictures as a "LZW compressed TIFF image"
with 256 colors, which turned out to produce a TIFF with type "MM".

Now, it seems that no other software either on a Mac, PC or a Unix sun4 can
read these.  Does anyone have any clue to converting these to some more common
format like Mac PICT, X10 or perhaps even (the final target) GIF ?
I have tried vgaimg and graphics workshop on the PC, a couple of freebies on
the Mac and pbm on the sun4, all which say that type "MM" is not supported.

Sorry for the cross-posts, but I'm really getting to my wit's end with these...
Please reply by mail, if at all possible.
