	Some time ago a master's thesis was done here at
Vanderbilt University, at the Center for Intelligent Systems, which was
a neat  image manipulation utility that allowed interactive conversion through
and from TIFF to st80 forms, as well as WordPerfect image files. 
The author was Gerald Haden, who has since graduated with a Ph.D, 
and is currently with IBM in Raleigh NC. The thesis should
be available on loan from the Vanderbilt University science library. I dont
have the current email address of Gerry, but you might try contacting him
at his old address that might get forwarded, ghaden@vuse.vanderbilt.edu
