I was in the process of getting a .tif file from an IBM-based medical
illustration group over at Duke Univ Med Center.  The file showed up
when copied from a DOS diskette with a TIFF icon in the File Viewer
without any problems, but when I tried to open it with either Icon
(the patched version for NS 3.0) or ImageViewer 0.9e, I got an error
message saying something to the efect of "incompatible file format."
When I tried to import it into an AppsoftDraw document, nothing happened
and I got no error messages.  

Now, I vaguely understand that the TIFF protocols are one of those
standards which are constantly in motion.  I don't believe I've ever
noticed a specific discussion about what TIFF actually is, and what
particular flavor of TIFF that NeXT finds disgestible.  (I also learned
about the fun of importing a Mac Word RTF file into NeXT, but that's
another discussion for another time)

Peace
