We have worked with TIFF, but are not at liberty to give you code. I
would be pleased to help out a little via EMail. Set one is getting
the spec itself. I got mine from Aldus. It defines the file format
and the tagged data. Hint: the bitmaps are at STRIPOFFSETS.
Reading the tag files generated by a single application is easier than
being wonderfully general, and reading is easier than writing. But
once you have the file format, the task isn't hard.
