	Could someone give me some information about the LZW compression
technique as applied to TIFF graphics files?  Is this covered under the
US patent 4558302 as claimed by unisys in the TIFF 6.0 specs?  Has anyone
licensed or been officially allowed to use LZW by unisys?  Email please,
will forward to interested parties.
