        Ditto for the UNIX world. "Old reliable" tifftopnm doesn't
seem to work. I get errors like:

4pFB1A.TIFF: Fax3Decode2D: Bad 2D code word at scanline 73.

        Which I assume means that tifftopnm can't handle this new
compression scheme.

        xv does read the files, but they look and print horrible. xv
was never good at printing stuff anyway.

        I just spent a few hours wading through the results of an
Alta Vista search, and I didn't really turn up any suitable utilities
to do this for UNIX.
