DESCRIPTION
        This is a special reader for uncompressed TIFF-files. 
        It converts 24 bit, 8 bit grey, and 8 bit colormap TIFF-images 
         to an AVS image. 
        The output is in any case a normal AVS image. 
        Opacity of the image is always set to 255, whereas the 
         red, green and blue channels are copied directly (24 bit) or 
         set to the values of the colormap. 
        The Colormap itself (if is) is not copied. 
        A short report is copied to 'stdout' with the toggle.
 
INPUTS
        none

PARAMETERS
        tiff_file (browser)
