[cctalk] Re: RS232 Spec

When I was working as a programmer for the Patent Office here in Australia, we used to use Tiff a lot for storing images. In those days, jpeg required additional licencing fees, so we abandoned that format. Multi page Tiff was used a heap, but yes, it became hard to find viewers to support it properly. By that time, the jpeg patent had expired and the format was no longer encumbered... One reality about Patent Offices was that they understood the rules. :-) I remember seeking a licence to use somebodies compression, and cheering when that ran out... I don't remember specifics... that will come to me. Doug Jackson On Tue, 22 Apr 2025, 4:41 pm Christian Corti via cctalk, < cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:
