A short while ago, someone posted and received many replies to a question regarding TIF format files. At the time, we had nothing that needed such knowledge, but as the fates would have it, something has just appeared that requires us to convert TIF to other formats. Could someone please EMAIL us a copy of the answers to the original TIF question. I believe that the company that originated TIF has a book/manual available describing the physical file layout. Our apologies for having to bring this up again so soon after the question was answered. Thanks in advance. Ken Goodwin NJ State Medical Underwriters, Inc. princeton!njsmu!klg

Ken:
If you want to do the grunt work yourself, just call Aldus and they
will send you TIFF 5.0 specs free...however, a product called The Graphics
Link Plus probably already has you covered. It converts omnidirectionally
between PCX/MSP/TIF/GIF/Bload/ShowPartner and many more and also has other
great image processing functions like scaling, dithering, tracing,
printing, etc. You can call (800)523-1796 if you want info....if not, like
I said, Aldus will send you TIFF specs (they are the proprieters of the
file format).
