Does it produce Plan 9-format image files? Right now, tiff2ps and tiff2pdf will produce page(1) compatible outputs, but page(1) can invoke a pipeline (the deceased tiff2pic, for example) to process what it recognises as a TIFF file. But tiff2ps and tiff2pdf won't do the right thing in this case and I can't really reproduce tiff2pic, at least not verbatim. Also, when I tried the internal pipeline trick in the past, it turned out not to be terribly practical when the files are in hundreds of megapixels. Still, suggestions are welcome, I stil don't really know what page(1) wants to chew on, I can look at the source to figure it out, but a few words by the right expert(s) will save a lot of looking. And any ideas on how to render extremely large images are also welcome. ++L
