Hi,

it is strange that IDL4.0 can not read TIFF image, it is even
strange that I can not get answer from RSI untill now. Who can
read it or who has idea?

TIFF has too many sub-format for one single program. I bet there is
not program that will read all possible TIFF variations.

To check what is in your TIFF file you may use IDL's tiff_dump.pro
It is simply called tiff_dump, file

and file being a character variable that contains the file name.

No! Please, don't clutter the net with some binary stuff that will be
destroyes during transmission. Capture the output of tiff_dump
and send this!
