TIFF displays and displays not

[Stefan Schwarzer]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

It seems to be a problem on the image side. I don't understand why, but 
although it displays nicely in ArcView and Photoshop, the screen keeps 
blank with Mapserver. (I had the impression that ArcExplorer-Java for 
Mac didn't display it either.) But when I exported the TIF in ERDAS as 
GeoTIF and loaded it into the app it worked.
