	I need to know the file definitions for TIFF and EPS format
mac files.  I have a scanner which I am using for an Image Processing
class and it allows me to save the image in one of these formats.  I 
need to be able to get to the bits and manipulate them.  I assume that
both of these formats use some kind of data compression, and I need to 
be able to go both ways, break out the bits - manipulate them - rebuild
the file.  
	I have Pagemaker and Illustrator to print them out, (in 8 bit
grey scale), and I have a Microtek scanner to get them in, I am using a 
Symbolics (ew, lisp yuk) Ivory-board to do the processing.  The Symbolics
doesn't know anything but read-byte.
