This will split a multipage TIFF into separate TIFF files for each
page:

   tiffsplit foo.tiff

The output files will be called xaa.tif, xab.tif and so on.
That program is found in the Debian package 'libtiff-tools'.

The same package contains the program 'fax2ps' which outputs
something printable for a multipage tiff.
