Aw, you guys give up too easily. Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit
out of my hat. Nuthin' up my sleeve:

image = FIX(READ_TIFF(file_name))

Presto!

Try this --

x = INTARR(3)
x = [-5, 0, 5]
PRINT, x, UINT(x), FIX(UINT(x))

OK, I guess my argument was too subtle. Let's try this:
not gonna happen. At least with IDL. :-)

My question is I wanted write a integer data type tiff file, but when
I do this job, the result always byte type ,unsigned integer, or long
integer. I wanted to know how to write an integer data type tiff file?
Thanks
