) 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.

I have been using a combination of the tiff 2.2 package with pbmplus
to do this (I got them on the UUNET archives).  You should be able to
do...

tif2ras | rasttoppm | ppmtogif > giffile

Now you can use xv, or xgif, or xloadimage (rev 2) to display the
image in an xwindow and if you want get a x dump of it.
