Subject: Problem with NeXT tiff's on PC's

I need to transfer some graphics as tiff files for use on a PC (unfortunately
the unenlightened are still using PC's).  All I get on the PC is a black
rectangle or a series of bars when I try to display the transferred tiff
files.  I have checked that the tiff files were properly sent by sending
them back to my NeXT and comparing the originals.  None of the tiffs used
any of the tiffutil compression schemes.  I presume that the NeXT uses some
different aspects of the tiff standards than is customary for PC-Windows
based tiff readers (specifically I want to get them into PageMaker).  Has
anyone else experienced this problem?  I'm not ambitious enough to dig 
through the tiff specifications and was hoping someone else has already
solved this problem.

Thanks-
