Jurgen,
You can import TIF files into NIH Image (freeware) and export it as a
TEXT file (ASCII rows and columns) which can be read into EXCEL. You
can also read and manuipulate the data in the program TRANSFORM, and
all graphics programs should import TIF files. Alternatively, if you
can read the TIF header, you can read the file into your own program.
TIF files are simply binary integers (one or two bytes), and the
header gives the dimensions and the byte size. There is a TIF
standard available on the web.
Good luck
Frank
