Well, I personally know nothing about TIFF file formats, but someone did give me a copy of an article some time back that might be helpful. (I'm posting this, since this seems to be a hot topic at present. ;-) ) Look in _Dr. Dobb's Journal_, May 1988, pp. 26- for the article entitled "Handling Image Files with TIFF". There is also source code printed in the article for some TIFF manipulation. Looks like good meaty info. I'll quote the end of the article to give details on how to get further info. ------ "Serious developers and readers of DDJ can receive a free set of disks for the TIFF Library Package by mentioning this article in a request to one of two sources: 1) For a copy of the TIFF Library Package for the Macintosh, send your name and address to Bear River Associates Inc., Attn: TIFF, P.O. Box 1900, Berkekey, CA 94701 or call 415-644-9400 (9 am - 5 pm PST) and ask for TIFF Library Package. 2) A similar TIFF package is available for the PC. To get this package, write to DEST Corp., Attn: Debra Levesque, 1201 Cadillac Ct., Milpitas, CA 95035 or call 408-946-7100 and ask for Debra L. 3) To receive a copy of the latest version of the TIFF standard, to reserve a proprietary tag, or to comment on the standard, write to Manny Vellon, Windows Marketing Group, Microsoft Corp., 16011 N.E. 36th Wy., P.O.
