I don't know of any routines already written. However, it should not be too hard to do with Perl since the TIFF format is well defined. You could probably use the Perl read or sysread functions and the unpack function to extract what you want. I don't have time to play with this now, but it seems like a fun exercise. Maybe after the first of the year(?). :-) -- ************************************************************ Dr. Samuel D.
