This is a request for a utility to convert a TIFF file (generated from a ScanJet on a PC) into an XWD format so that it may be use with the X environment on an HP9000. The resulting image file may also be used by a Starbase or BASIC/UX application. Any pointer (public domain or commercial product) will be appreciated. Please e-mail any comment or response to: khasin@canstar.com as I have no access to the USENET at present. Robert File Canstar Communication North York Ontario.
