A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.  This draft is a work item of the Internet Fax Working
Group of the IETF.

	Title		: File Format for Internet Fax (revised)
	Author(s)       : R. Buckley, L. McIntyre, G. Parsons, J.
			  Rafferty, D. Venable,S. Zilles
	Filename	: draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-00.txt
	Pages		: 82
	Date		: 13-Apr-99
	
This document is a revised version of Proposed Standard RFC 2301.  The
revisions, summarized in the list attached as Annex C to this document,
are based on the discussions and suggestions for improvements that have
been made since the Proposed Standard was issued in March 1998, and on
the results of independent implementations and interoperability
testing.

This RFC 2301 revision describes the TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
representation of image data specified by the ITU-T Recommendations
for black-and-white and color facsimile. This file format
specification is commonly known as TIFF-FX. It formally defines
minimal, extended and lossless JBIG profiles (Profiles S, F, J) for
black-and-white fax, and base JPEG, lossless JBIG and Mixed Raster
Content profiles (Profiles C, L, M) for color and grayscale fax. These
profiles correspond to the content of the applicable ITU-T
Recommendations. Files formatted according to this specification use
the image/tiff MIME Content Type.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
