In 1997, I initially wrote a set of PostScript procedures to handle all
of baseline TIFF (meanwhile including a couple of extensions) and,
for use with discless level 2 interpreters, a PostScript program that
"serializes" a TIFF file to a sequentially digestible stream.

If there is interest, I could publish this stuff under the GPL on
our web site. Let me know.
