I must have missed the discussion of a TIFF-to-SunRaster filter. But I had a need, (background images for Sunview) for such a filter, so I wrote one. My version is really TIFF to PBM, but it is easy to just pipeline the commands: "tiff2pbm Tifffilename | pbmtorast > SunRasterFile". This program doesn't fully implement all the feature of TIFF, but it will convert a TIFF file (single bit plane) created on a Mac. I have used it to convert a TIFF file 1152 x 1850 from ThunderScan. Although I believe Thunderscan has a bug in it's TIFF converter function, for very large images, such as the one mentioned. I had to tweek the image size to the correct values before running the TIFF file through my program. I haven't had any problem with other images. I will post this program in it's current state if anyone is interested. It may be a good starting point for others,(or just trash). I knocked it off very fast, and haven't gotten back to it, but it does suit my needs at this time. Paul --- Paul J. Emerson Software Design Group, Inc. Manager, Software Development 800 Trafalgar Ct.
