!ChangeFSI is the obvious one as it comes free with the machine.

After that there are a number of packages, including but not limited to,
!Translatr and !Photodesk

Thanks, Dave. I should have said that I have tried both !ChangeFSI and
!Translatr with success. I do not have !Photodesk.

Frank
Which version of !ChangeFSI?

How big is one of these files? If it's not too big, you can send me one
and I'll have a quick look at this end.

My variety of !ChangeFSI is 1.27 of May 2003 which came with my recently
acquired Virtual RPC. The file concerned is 52K. I get the message
!ChangeFSI may have gone wrong etc.

Thanks for your offer of help - I have asked the sender to resend the file
in a different form.

Okay. I'm pretty certain this is the latest version that comes with Select
3i4.

The problem with the question "How can I read a TIFF" is that the
baseline TIFF specification includes something like 8 compression
schemes, but baseline TIFF renderers are only required to be be able to
handle 4 (I think) of them.

The most likely problem is that the TIFF you are trying to view is
using one of the CCITT Fax-compatible compression schemes, which are
part of the baseline TIFF, but not required to be supported by a
baseline decoder.

If this is the case, then I believe that David Pilling's ArcFax will be
able to read it.
