The host is expo.lcs.mit.edu and the package can be found in the
contrib directory.

I had the older version of pbm and got real excited when I saw that
the new version support the TIFF format.  My problem.  We would like
to use our AppleScanner to create images on the sun.  Just scan the
image in, output to a tiff file, port the the sun and run tifftopbm on
the file right?  Nope.  tifftopbm dumps core when reading in the tiff
file.  *sniff*  I uploaded the file using ftp with 'binary' on.  (Not
macbinary)  I also tried and ascii upload but that didn't work either.

Has anyone gotton a tiff (or pict for that matter) file from the mac
to a sunraster?  How did you do it?

Thanks for any help in advance.
