In my applications I had already read a TIFF or other format 27file in to memory and did not want to waste I/O writing it out again 28for libtiff's benefit. I therefore constructed a set of functions to 29pass up to TIFFClientOpen to simulate a file in memory. I have attached 30my mfs (memory file system) source code for you to use or junk, as you 31see fit. :-) 32 33Once again, thanks very much for making my life simpler. 34 35Best Regards, 36 37Mike Johnson. 38
