Display external TIFF file revisited

In early May, I posted a question about using postscript to read and
display an external file in TIFF format. Ken Sharp was brilliant and
kind enough to post his code to do just that. I have finally gotten
around to attempting to implement it and am able to prevent it from
erroring out but no image is displayed. This happens with all the TIFF
files I have tried.

Here's how I'm calling Ken's function:

300 300 500 500 (clouds.TIF) TiffPrint
showpage

And here is the debug output:

If Ken or anyone else who might have used this code to do this can see
what I'm doing wrong and can let me know, I would GREATLY appreciate
it.
