Alan,

	you should use XTiff.  XTiff correctly displays all of the TIFF
image type that I'm aware of and that libtiff supports.  It manages the
selection of an X visual and displays the image.  It won't dither an image,
so 24-bit images are not viewable on monochrome but it will extend
images so that 2-bit NeXT images can be displayed on a 4-bit HP.

	XTiff is on expo.lcs.mit.edu in contib/xtiff.tar.Z and on
uunet.uu.net in X/contrib/xtiff.tar.Z
