Unfortunately, because of bottlenecking concerns, the disk cannot be used although the file originates there. The g4 data is in memory in a $data variable. So the functions used in tiffcp need to be used in HylaFAX (written in C++). I've looked at the tiffcp source, but I got lost. It looked to me like the conversion happened somewhat magically by TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(). (Magically, because TIFFWriteEncodedStrip() doesn't accept any "input format" or "output format" options.) Any pointer on which functions to look at first would be appreciated. Lee.
