   ) 
   ) 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.
   ) 
[stuff deleted]

   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.

the new version of pbmplus, on expo.lcs.mit.edu, includes tiff conversion
(read and write).  

now, a question: has anyone had any success at generating a tiff file,
using any Unix utility, that can be read by the PC packages FreeLance or
Mirage?

thanks, folks :-)
