David -
That works great if you know in advance for which software you're
creating the file.
I guess I'm a little bit stunned (read: e.g. with a cattle prod) to
find I can't use IDL
to create a TIFF that will display with the same orienttation in
application X (let's
call it Netscape, for instance) and IDL....
I guess I should be thankful that (i) REVERSE runs so fast on Alphas,
and (ii)
WRITE_GIF doesn't have that problem.
