Actually TIFF supports a whole variety of formats, the idea being that the
data is stored in a format which matches the data. Consequently you often
get 8 bit TIFF files, which are usually more or less the same size as
things like GIFS. Additionally TIFF supports a whole plethora of
compression techniques, from packbits to LZW, and i think JPEG now.

A full TIFF distribution, which besides giving you documentation also has
various TIFF tools, and a full C library, is available from sgi.com

Having said all that i'm not sure how on the ball IV's understanding of
TIFFs is. If anyone knows could they spill the beans?
