I expect that requests on this topic have been posted many times, but I am new
to this news group and there is little on this subject on the articles that I
have read so far.

I am about to start work on a program to convert TIFF files into Postscript or
some other PDL for laser output. Does anyone have any skeliton programs for
parsing TIFF files. Or maybe someone has a program already to do this? I do
have a program, but it is very slow and messey (creates tempory files all over
the place in doing it). The program needs to be lightning fast as many many
pages per day will need to be printed.

If anyone out there has any experience or knows of any package that can
help me, please post your response to the news group or mail me direct. I will
post any responses that I receive for anyone else who may be interested.

Thanks
David
