Hi Group: We've been writing some tiff files to CD for in-house
reference using ISO 9660 standards. The images open fine on PC's but a
Mac user complained that it opened as a multitude of text files. In this
instance the files were saved as uncompressed tiffs in Macintosh byte
order. Did this make a difference? I'm wondering if anyone has some
ideas on why this happened.
Thanks,

James Allan mailto:james.allan@archives.gov.on.ca
