1997.01.10 21:39 "TIFFOpen for appending", by Chuck Packard

Hi,

I am trying to put a TIFF into an existing EPS file to act as a preview.
I read the man page for TIFFOpen and it says you can pass it a mode of
"a" so that it appends:

     When a file is opened for appending, existing data
     will not be touched; instead new data  will  be  written  as
     additional  subfiles

But I am getting the error '%s: Cannot open'; I have verified that I can
call fopen and append to the file myself in place of the call to
TIFFOpen. Is TIFFOpen expecting the file it is appending to to be
another TIFF file? What is the 'subfile' it is talking about?

Thanks,
