Hi yasser,

If you haven't yet subscribed to the ITK mailing list, then consider 
doing so (http://www.itk.org/mailman/listinfo/insight-users); it seems 
pretty responsive to questions like yours.

As for a Tiff reader, Luis Ibanez recently replied to a similar question 
on the ITK users list, but I am unable to find it in the archives, which 
unfortunately are not searchable (at least not from 
http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/).

Anyway, I recall his recommending ImageMagick (and perhaps another 
third-party image conversion package -- netlib?).  I was lucky, since my 
RedHat 7.1 host already had ImageMagick-5.2.7-2 installed; this package 
included /usr/X11R6/bin/convert, which allowed me to convert my bitmaps 
to raw, grayscale, byte images, which is exactly what i wanted:

#!/bin/sh
for file in i*bmp
do
         newfile=`echo $file | sed 's/.bmp/.raw/g'`
         convert $file GRAY:$newfile
done
cat i*raw > rat.raw
