We have worked with TIFF, but are not at liberty to give you code.  I
would be pleased to help out a little via EMail.  Set one is getting
the spec itself.  I got mine from Aldus.  It defines the file format
and the tagged data.  Hint: the bitmaps are at STRIPOFFSETS.

Reading the tag files generated by a single application is easier than
being wonderfully general, and reading is easier than writing.  But
once you have the file format, the task isn't hard.
