Hi Sam,

I noticed in the README from libtiff that you would like to know about

what people have done with libtiff, so I thought I would drop you a

line.

We have used libtiff to create and convert TIFF images of financial

documents which are sent from and to major document processing systems

in Sweden and Denmark.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to yourself and Sillicon

Graphics for making this excellent library available for public use.

There is obviously a lot of work that has gone in to libtiff and the

quality of the code and documentation is an example to others.

One thing that libtiff did not do was work on a memory area rather than

files. In my applications I had already read a TIFF or other format

file in to memory and did not want to waste I/O writing it out again

for libtiff's benefit. I therefore constructed a set of functions to

pass up to TIFFClientOpen to simulate a file in memory. I have attached

my mfs (memory file system) source code for you to use or junk, as you

see fit. :-)

Once again, thanks very much for making my life simpler.

Best Regards,

Mike Johnson.
