Hello Mapserver lovers,

We had a problem using tiled tiffs in our mapserver application. Our favourite image converter (XNVIEW) could not convert these to 8 bits tiff in batch for use in mapserver. We downloaded a trial version of PMVIEW and this package does the job perfectly so it is a nice work around. Does however anyone know an opensource package that can handle and convert tiled tiffs? (packbits compressed). Does GIMP cover this?

Regards,

Wim Blanken
