-Frank,

-I attached a file that uses RGBA interface (tif_getimage.c) to read a tiff
-file and convert to a DIB.  It's advantage is that it is easy to read *any*
-tiff file suported by libtiff and easily convert it to a DIB.  The disadvantage
-is that bilevel (B&W) bitmaps (and all other non-rgba images) are also 
-converted to RGBA, thus taking up 32x as much memory as needed (4 bytes per 
-pixel, rather than 1 bit).  I read tiff files, but don't need to
-write them.  And my files are typically small, so the overhead is mostly
-inconsequential.  But for bilevel images, I overrode the get() and put()
-routines of the RGBA interface to just copy the data from the input raster
-to the output raster, rather than expanding out to full 32 bit format.  It
-would be nice if there were a simple way to handle all palletized images,
-but that would take more custom routines, and it's not that important to me.
-
-Usage:
-
-    m_pDIB = (PBITMAPINFOHEADER)::ReadTIFF(pathName);
-    if (m_pDIB != 0) {
-       m_format = IMAGETYPE_TIF;
-    }
-
-This is intended as Win32, but the modifications for new get() and put()
-routines may be independent of platform.

-Thanks for your work supporting the forum and the library!
