That wouldn't be that hard to code. There is very similar code in PandaEdit which you're welcome to borrow. Look at the fax.cpp, fax.h, and faketiff.h...
IBM DeveloperWorks also has articles on coding for TIFF (Intro, and Advanced)
which might be of use. There are also many open source PDF APIs out there, including Panda.
The PDFs created by ImageMagick aren't perfect however. You're much better off as a developer using one of the many APIs available for doing that sort of stuff.
I think you'll find that the article is written that way because it is taylored for the IBM DeveloperWorks Linux site. It's not a comment on the Linuxness of IM.
It might just be me being slow, but when I was at a Australian Unix Users Group conference in July they had people from Red Hat, Suse, Caldera and TurboLinux who all raved about this thing called the Linux Standards Base which is meant to stop vendor dominance and allow things like a standard package management system despite distribution...
It doesn't change my basic point though. There should be someone looking after important marks such as linux. Like The X/Open group does for the Unix trademark.
This whole thing raises a question in my mind though. I thought Linux International was supposed to be protecting these trade marks. Why don't they just rock though all nations and just buy the trade mark now?
It would save some time later...
PS: There appears to be someone squatting on linuxinternational.net and linuxinternational.com
Due to employment at a Patent Office, I found this interesting... It would be embarrasing to breach someone's patent. Luckily, as far as I can determine by looking at the database, there is no LZW patent in Australia.

The machine is fine... It sits on a nice fast link (its a Debian mirror as well). Load average is currently under 3.
The TIFF specification is available for free from http://developer.adobe.com

This is still pretty bad for bulk downloads. I want a FTP site like that used for the Hubble images.
Does anyone know of a FTP site with these images? They would make cool desktop patterns.

I guess I like living in Australia.
Surely you would be better off using a product like Ghost to make a disc image and then dumping that image onto the new disks?
This could be done over the network. Ghost runs on DOS though.
