Hello
See if your site has the PBMPLUS utilities on a unix box.
If you do, you would do something like the following
% tifftopnm INPUT_FILE | ppmtogif > OUTPUT_FILE
where INPUT_FILE is your tiff file and OUTPUT_FILE is you resulting
GIF file

Both IDL and PV-WAVE 6.0 can handle .gif files. PV-WAVE 5.0 cannot as it
stands, but you can alledgedly get code to make it do so from VNI's ftp site.
When I posted something about this a while ago, I got the following answer
from VNI.
[begin message from VNI]
.......We now include an interface to the ImageMagick
public domain file format conversion utility for UNIX (available from the
University of Wisconsin). This is a "transparent" integration, and
consists of two new commands: DC_READ_IMAGE and DC_WRITE_IMAGE. The code
for this now ships with PV-WAVE 6.0. You can also download this code from
our FTP site (ftp.vni.com).
I hope that this information is useful to you. Should you require further
information, please contact us at: support@vniuk.co.uk
[end message from VNI]
Hope this helps!
Hugh.

Erica,
If you're on a Unix box or a Mac(I think), you can use IMTools from the
San Diego Supercomputer Center. Among other things, there is a routine
called imconv which will convert back and forth between a large number
of image types (Tiff and Gif among them).
You can probably find them by going to their web site:
http://www.sdsc.edu/
If not, let me know and I'll look up the anonymous ftp address.
Todd
PS. Your e-mail return address in the FROM: line is incorrect.
