2006.02.13 10:32 "Random read of non image data", by Sebastian Tannert

Dear all,

thanks for developing TIFFlib!

Having the need to read in a custom third party format, I'm looking for 
a portable way of reading  TIFF_BYTE data of variable length not part of 
a tag but linked by a tag. The tag is giving me back a tiff-offset where 
I will find the info I need.

Is there any routine doing the job? I didn't found any by various 
lookings through the help.

May be you can give me some hints not to disturb TIFFlib more than 
necessary by using some internal routine, otherwise I will try do directly 
take the file handle and seek and read as I like, but sounds a nasty 
solution.

Thanks for any help!

Sebastian
