HP 54710A - TIFF and GIF Files on the Apple Macintosh Computer

TIFF and GIF files on the Apple Macintosh Computer
To convert TIFF and GIF files for use on the Apple Macintosh computer.
1
Make sure that the Apple Macintosh computer has a 1.44 Mbyte disk drive,
also called "SuperDrive."
2
Use the Apple Computer File Exchange utility (provided with the Apple
Computer Macintosh System 7.0) to translate the MS-DOS

TIFF file format
to a file on the Macintosh computer. Select "Default" translation in the
"MS-DOS to MAC" menu.
3
Use a file editing utility, like ResEdit 2.1, (available from Apple Computer,
Inc., Macintosh ftp archive sites, or a local Macintosh User’s group) to
open the TIFF file that you translated from MS-DOS

format to the
Macintosh computer.
To use ResEdit, choose "Get File/Folder Info..." from the "File" menu. Change the
"Type:" field to "TIFF" for TIF files or change the "Type" field to "GIF " for GIF files.
The Type filed must contain four characters, so make sure to use a space as the
last character. Save the changes, and Exit Resedit.
The file is now ready for importing into a Macintosh computer application that
can read TIFF files.
