Well, the best application I've come across (in fact, the *only*
one that I know of, but there are prob. others), is Canvas. You
can open a TIFF file (as long as it has the file type "TIFF", you
may have to change it with ResEdit or similar), then save it in
Canvas format, or PICT, and possibly one or two other formats, I
can't remember. The latest version is 2.1 (as far as I know, can
anyone confirm that?), but I haven't seen it yet, we here at the
end of the Earth are still stuck with version 2.0, worse luck :-(

Give me a yell it you have any further problems. Good Luck!

                                Nigel.
