Not impossible, just time consuming. ;-) That's both the beauty and the curse of software, as you well know. You can do almost anything, if you're willing to invest the time and resources. > [...] claims to support TIFF *must* handle everything that baseline TIFF > can contain (I don't belive that includes compression). That's a nice theory, but there are plenty of TIFF readers out there that are deficient in various ways, that still claim baseline compliance. Rarely occurs in popular commercial software, but I've bumped into quite a few in lesser known commercial software and shareware and freeware. Open source code often is better about this, probably because someone downloads the software and it won't digest one of their files, so they fix it or send the file to someone who can. :-) -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
