      I am looking for information on file formats from Graphics,
      CAD & Desk Top Publishing tools as well as data compression
      techniques. I have heard of the following:
         TIFF - Tag Image File Format
         IGES - Initial Graphics Exchange Standard
         ISIF - Intergraph Standard Interchange Format
         CGM  - Computer Graphics Metafile
	 CCITT  Compression
         DXF  - ?
      I have the Microsoft Spec and HP the HP guide to TIFF;
      also a spec for IGES from the June '87 issue of Byte.
      Sources, even FTP sites would be appreciated.
      
      Which are the most widely used today?

      I am gathering information on current file formats
      which will be compared and then used <hopefully>
      to write specs for conversion routines.
       
                              Thank you,
                                     Scott Youmans
