Dale / Jason, I can confirm that BigTIFF development is going well. But I think the complexity of issuing a press release which has to be approved by four sponsors was underestimated. :-) I'll also be writing an article on BigTIFF for Connexxion (sp?) magazine shortly though it won't be out till June - about the time that preliminary BigTIFF support will be made widely available. Safe Software's support for this important advance in geospatial technology is much appreciated!
