Re: Opening TIFFs from a Browser

[Jay Maechtlen <techwriter -at- covad -dot- net>]

How about "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer"?
That works under XP.
Just a sec- firing up a copy of Win98 insiide MS Virtual PC-
- Install the 'additions' pack and reboot the image
- drag a tiff file in-

"preview" seems to work.
"open" brings up Win 98's crappy "imaging" app, but it does come up.

I did cheat, and save the TIFF from Irfanview without any compression.
Depending on compression, ymmv.

So the answer is, Windows ships with apps which will open (at least) 
ordinary TIFFs.
cheers
