.tiff files from the Veteran's Admin. and our solution

[Phalbe Henriksen]

After having read the archives on .tiff files, I felt I had to contribute 
our library's solution:

I came across our first .tiff file problem this afternoon with a patron 
using a Gates Foundation computer (Windows NT). I d/l'ed the file and took 
it to my office and opened it without problem in IrfanView, a freeware 
graphics viewer, which I had d/l'ed previously.

IrfanView can be found at <www.irfanview.com>. It was recommended to me by 
a professor who teaches programming and (I've heard) has a master's degree 
in astrophysics. He thinks it's great
software and in my very humble and limited view, I think it is, too. 
(Standard disclaimer here -- I do not know Irfan Skiljan, nor will I make 
even a cent from recommending his software.)

Tomorrow, I will d/l Irfanview on all four of our Gates Foundation 
computers. No prob with .tiff files here.
