Oh boy!  Another quick and dirty TIFF hack!  (Very quick, very
dirty.)

software) we've been using for DTP.  One of the things that held
up moving DTP off the Macintoshes was the inability to scan
images for inclusion in NeXT documents.  No longer.
And we can now see our faces appear in the Mail utility!  :-)


The AppleScan program is capable of saving images as 4-bit
grayscale TIFF.  Unfortunately, the NeXT isn't too happy with
these in their native form (under 0.9, anyway).  The attached
program converts these to Encapsulated PostScript that can be
pasted into WriteNow (or used by Draw, Scene, what-have-you).

Since scan files can be quite large (1.5MB is not unusual), we
use an Ethernet interface in the Macintosh II and NCSA Telnet
2.3 to FTP images to the NeXT.

This code is furnished as-is, etc.
It's not meant to be portable.

 * Disclaimer: this is a cheap hack; it does not attempt to
 * handle arbitrary .tiff files, nor does it make use of all the
 * information available to it.  In particular, the XResolution
 * and YResolution tags are ignored.  Heck, it doesn't even
 * accept little-endian TIFF...
 *
 * Future versions may (will?) support other kinds of scanners.
