I'm only refering to Adobe's documentation of the TIFF v6.00
(final revivion) - it was not ment as an offence, if you
felt that way, then take my apologies.

AFAIK LZX, LHA both use the LZH (Lempel-Ziv-Huffman)
compression method, but I might be wrong.
LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) compression e.g. is used by GIF files.

Erhmm. The file size of an image merely is dependant on two
factors, the resolution (pixels x,y) and the color depth
(2,4,8,16,24,... bit) -
(and of course the file format and it's compression method).
The CCITT-encoded TIFF fax pages (normal size 1727x2337x1)
are about 200 to 300 kB.

Maybe I'll give it try, but the problem of the Amiga programms
seems to be, either they don't support CCITT encoding
or they don't support multiple pages, and I need both
in combination.
Have a nice weekend.
