I recently ftp'd and dl'd to my GS a file called TIFF.BSQ from tybalt.caltech.edu's ftp server. The file is in /pub/apple2/graphics. I was wondering if there is a TIFF file viewer for the GS. That was what I thought I had downloaded...to my disappointment after Binscii'ing it and unShrinking it. If there is a tiff viewer for the GS in teh shareware/public domain/whatever...could someone either put it on comp.binaries.apple2, or ftp it to one of the varios apple2 ftp sites please. Also...in order to prevent such a thing happening again for me (spending almost 1 hour at 2400 baud, using kermit to dl the thing to my system), I'd like to find a version of ShrinkIt for Unix. I have SCIIBIN, which will unBinscii the thing on my Unix. I'd like to be able to unShrink ShrinkIt303 files...so I can find out what exactly I'm dl'ing. If anyone can tell me what that program is called, and where I can get it (ie: some ftp-sever) I'd appreciate a note in my mailbox. Thank you for any help in advance.

Nope, to the best of my knowledge there isn't one YET. That file was put there for me so that I could add TIFF support to GIF 3200. (I need sample files to test it with, and that's what's in the archive.) I'm sure someone will ask me this, so I'll put it here to lengthen the artic so I can post it. :) I haven't thslightest when TIFF support will be added to GIF 3200 (soon to be renamed Bad Luck Convert, I think). You see, this thing cald school is eating up gobs and gobs of my time. :( I'm going to be releasing GIF 3200 v0.20 'soon', but when after thaI add TIFF support (or IFF, or whatever else I can think of) is anyone's gues I DO plan on doing it, though, so fear not--it's coming! :) Jonah Stich jonah@amos.ucsd.edu
