It is not an issue for me, because there are no software patents in my country, but LZW code was separated to help users to avoid problems in their countries, so if someone has opinions against LZW, please, tell us. All libtiff codecs and features are enabled by default, and LZW will do after inclusion. Andrey -- Andrey V. Kiselev Home phone: +7 812 5274898 ICQ# 26871517
