Anesthesia, Sch. of Med., UCLA, Los Angeles Lines: 8 Keywords: PC image scanning, file editing and conversion There are many optical scanners available for the IBM type PC and even more software packages to drive them. Often I have need to incorporate several different file types together with some editing before placing a figure in, for example, PageMaker. Has anybody compiled a list of the types of files generated by each, and a list of the programs that allow editing, translation or conversion of these files. Just to name a few types of files, there are TIFF, EPS, SRC, PIC, DRW, MSP, PCX etc.... If there is enough interest I will post a summary.
