I have several questions about the embedding technology.

1) Is there a utility that will do it for TIFF files?

2) Does JPEG compression of a TIFF file destroy the embedded text?

3) Does conversion of, say, a TIFF to a GIF destroy the embedded text?

4) Does AIIM have any preferences or strong feelings about this technology? Is it a standard practice that has a reasonable chance of some longevity, or an extension that will not survive the millenium?

I would welcome comments to the list or to me personally from anyone who has knowledge or experience with the issue.
