Subject:Help with stubborn TIFF file From:Paul David Marvel <marvel -at- STRAUSS -dot- UDEL -dot- EDU> Date:Mon, 6 Mar 1995 20:47:55 -0500
Whirlers:
I'm having troubles with a TIFF file and I'm hoping someone can help. If
you respond to me directly, I'll summarize for the list. Here's the problem:
1- I grabbed a screen on a UNIX workstation and saved it as TIFF.
2- I UNIX2DOS'ed it and put it on a 1.44 DOS floppy.
3- When I try to open it in Quark for Windows I get the message
"Unexpected end-of-file encountered [-39]."
4- PageMaker for Windows says "No image width--8101:2074."
Bonus question--are DOS TIFF files binary or hex? UNIX TIFF is hex.
Thanks for the help--it's appreciated. I need this print for a deadline.
