1. An Intel-style uncompressed TIFF file: autumn.tif.
2. An Intel-style gray-pixel TIFF file: klng75gs.tif.
3. An Intel-style 1D Compressed TIFF file: nbc.tif.
4. A Motorola-style 1D Compressed TIFF file, just for fun: iye.tif.
5. An Intel-style "PackBits" compressed TIFF file: aldus_ip.tif. In this
file, "short" offsets are used instead of the usual STRIPOFFSETS.
The Tag is 32768, and the data type is SHORT; otherwise, it is the same as
STRIPOFFSETS. Applications other than PageMaker will probably not
understand Short Offsets, so you may want to stick to STRIPOFFSETS.
6. .dmp tiffdump output for each TIFF file.
7. Source for the tiffdump program.
8. Code fragments for PackBits and UnpackBits routines (Compression=32773).
Good luck, and be sure to send me a couple of your favorite TIFF files, and
product brochures.
And if you find problems, or find a way to speed up my code, I'd like to
hear about that, too.
