I need enough information on the TIFF graphics file format (used by Aldus PageMaker) to be able to encode or decode a file using it. I am also interested in how the following other PC graphics file formats are coded: MSP (Windows Paint), IMG (GEM Paint), CUT (Dr. HALO) and PCX (PC Paintbrush Plus). Thanks in advance for any help.

According to the Editorial in the July 89 issue of Dr. Dobb's: "If you need the TIFF Library, all isn't lost. You can now get both the PC and Mac versions from Image Software Associates. For $25 ($35 international) you get documentation (the TIFF standard and a programmer's reference guide), source code, object files, and demonstration programs. Make checks or money orders payable to Image Software Associates, Research and Development, P.O. Box 1634, Danville, CA 94526. Don't forget to specify PC or Mac."

I'm also looking for a TIFF specification (no way am I going to shell out $25, and I'm not particularly interested in either PCs or Macs). The *only* contemporary "standard" I've been able to find is for GIF. -=EPS=-

There's a tiff package available by anonymous FTP from ucbvax.berkeley.edu as pub/tiff.tar.Z Look at the README and tiff.h files. The library will read NeXT compression, but is missing the code to write it. -=EPS=-
