Inset Systems Inc. makes a software package called HiJaak that you
might find helpful. It's available for a PC (possibly for other systems
too but I'm not aware of others).
It can convert scanner-type tif to encapsulated postscript and sells for
about $100. It can also convert .pcl, .hpg, .mac, .msp, .img, .gif,
and many more file types to vartious other file types. I think it's a
great investment for the price.
After converting the file on the PC we transfer the file to our UNIX
system.
Good luck.

HiJaak sounds like highway robbery! A few months ago I posted a UNIX program to comp.sys.next that converts TIFF (we use an Apple Scanner to produce grayscale TIFF) to EPS. You can FTP it from sutro.sfsu.edu. It shouldn't be too hard to modify if you have special needs. I made some "simplifying assumptions"--i.e. that we're in 680x0 land, but even that's easy to deal with. -=EPS=-

Is there someother way, say a local BBS that I could dial into to get this code?. Cheers, Woody

Some people are looking for something a bit more sophisticated than a few pages of C code. I direct you to Sam Leffler's "libtiff" ucbvax.berkeley.edu:~ftp/pub/libtiff.tar.Z from April, which includes a "tiff2ps" program along with general-purpose tiff handling routines and some demonstration images. Don't ask for a mailed copy unless you can handle a megabyte or so. -=EPS=-
